Glyceraldehyde 3-Phosphate Dehydrogenase on the Surface of <i>Candida albicans</i> and <i>Nakaseomyces glabratus</i> Cells—A Moonlighting Protein That Binds Human Vitronectin and Plasminogen and Can Adsorb to Pathogenic Fungal Cells via Major Adhesins Als3 and Epa6
<i>Candida albicans</i> and other closely related pathogenic yeast-like fungi carry on their surface numerous loosely adsorbed “moonlighting proteins”—proteins that play evolutionarily conserved intracellular functions but also appear on the cell surface and exhibit additional functions,...
