This study identifies Mln1 as a regulator of metabolic flexibility and thermotolerance in Cryptococcus neoformans, revealing a trade-off between nutrient utilization and stress resistance.

This study identifies Pro3 as a key enzyme linking proline biosynthesis to cell wall integrity in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing its critical role in virulence and growth.

The paper identifies Pph22, Tap42, and Rrd2 as components of the protein phosphatase 2A complex in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing their roles in stress response, virulence, and morphogenesis.

The paper identifies Wcp1, a WD40 protein with cyclophilin domains, as essential for CO2/heat tolerance and acidic pH adaptation in Cryptococcus neoformans, linking these functions to virulence.

This study identifies the calcineurin pathway's role in regulating thermotolerance, cell integrity, antifungal resistance, and virulence in Candida auris through genetic deletion and transcription factor analysis.
