General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction GPI19 mutants show up-regulation of GPI2, whereas GPI2 mutants show upregulation of GPI19. GPI2 disruption leads to defective hyphal morphogenesis due to altered Ras signaling. Reintroduction of GPI2 into the GPI2 heterozygous strain can reverse the phenotypes Candida albicans
metabolism analysis of the regulatory function of the enzyme, overview Candida albicans
physiological function the enzyme complex, GPI-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase (GPI-GnT), is involved in the first step of GPI anchor biosynthesis in eukaryotes. Candida albicans has several glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored virulence factors. Inhibiting GPI biosynthesis attenuates its virulence. Enzyme complex subunit GPI2 is essential for growth and hyphal morphogenesis and is needed for filamentation. The GPI-GnT enzyme complex accessory subunits, GPI2 and GPI19, exhibit opposite effects on ergosterol biosynthesis and Ras signaling (which determines hyphal morphogenesis), because the two subunits negatively regulate one another. GPI19 controls ergosterol biosynthesis through ERG11 levels, whereas GPI2 determines the filamentation by cross-talk with Ras1 signaling. GPI2 affects GPI anchor biosynthesis and cell wall Candida albicans
