Force Sensitivity in <named-content content-type="genus-species">Saccharomyces cerevisiae</named-content> Flocculins

ABSTRACT Many fungal adhesins have short, β-aggregation-prone sequences that play important functional roles, and in the Candida albicans adhesin Als5p, these sequences cluster the adhesins after exposure to shear force. Here, we report that Saccharomyces cerevisiae flocculins Flo11p and Flo1p have...
