This paper identifies Pef1 as a fungal protein that localizes to sites of membrane disruption in Candida albicans to maintain membrane integrity and support polarized growth.

The paper identifies 2-hydroxymethylsuccinate as a product of itaconate metabolism via a CoA-independent pathway and shows tissue-specific degradation routes.

This study shows that phosphatidic acid, produced by phospholipase D, is essential for hyphal cell fusion and fungal-plant symbiosis in filamentous fungi.
