Differential requirement for the Ire1 luminal domain in Candida albicans drug susceptibility and pathogenicity

Samuel Stack-Couture, Nathan Towriss, Iwona Skulska, Anna Kalabina, Julie L. Genereaux, Vanessa Dumeaux, Rebecca S. Shapiro, Patrick Lajoie

This study shows that the luminal domain of Ire1 in C. albicans is critical for cell wall integrity, thermal stress, and virulence, while the transmembrane domain is sufficient for azole antifungal tolerance.

A role for the putative error-prone polymerase REV1 in DNA damage and antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans

Michelle R. Agyare-Tabbi, Deeva Uthayakumar, Desiree Francis, Laetitia Maroc, Chris Grant, Peter McQueen, Garret Westmacott, Hajer Shaker, Iwona Skulska, Isabelle Gagnon‐Arsenault, Jonathan Boisvert, Christian R. Landry, Rebecca S. Shapiro

This study investigates the role of REV1, an error-prone polymerase, in DNA damage and antifungal drug resistance in Candida albicans, finding that its deletion increases mutation rates and resistance.
