From Saccharomyces cerevisiae to Candida glabrata in a few easy steps: important adaptations for an opportunistic pathogen: Candida glabrata stress response

Abstract

The opportunistic human fungal pathogen Candida glabrata is closely related to Saccharomyces cerevisiae, yet it has evolved to survive within mammalian hosts. Which traits help C. glabrata to adapt to this different environment? Which specific responses are crucial for its survival in the host? The main differences seem to include an extended repertoire of adhesin genes, high drug resistance, an enhanced ability to sustain prolonged starvation and adaptations of the transcriptional wiring of key stress response genes. Here, we discuss the properties of C. glabrata with a focus on the differences to related fungi.

  • The C. glabrata genome harbors several members of a specific gene family encoding epithelial adhesin proteins (EPA genes), which are considered a key factor in its ability to infect humans.

    “The C. glabrata genome harbors several members of a specific gene family encoding epithelial adhesin proteins (EPA genes), which are considered a key factor in its ability to infect humans (Cormack and Falkow, 1999; Roetzer et al., 2011; Gabaldón et al., 2013; Vale-Silva et al., 2017).”
  • The number of generations that occurred within the time-lapse of DSY562 and DSY565 isolation may correspond to at least 250-500 generations, taking into account 5-10 generations/d according to published data.

    “The number of generations that occurred within the time-lapse of DSY562 and DSY565 isolation may correspond to at least 250–500 generations, when taking into account 5–10 generations/d according to published data (Forche et al. 2009; Roetzer et al. 2011).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
