Multiple roles and diverse regulation of the Ras/cAMP/protein kinase A pathway in Candida albicans

Summary Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen of humans, causing both superficial and life‐threatening systemic infections in immunocompromised people. The conserved Ras/cAMP/PKA pathway plays a key role in regulating multiple traits important for the virulence of C. albicans such as cell growth, yeast‐hyphal transition, white‐opaque switching, sexual reproduction and biofilm development. Diverse external signals influence cell physiology...
