Titration of C-5 Sterol Desaturase Activity Reveals Its Relationship to Candida albicans Virulence and Antifungal Susceptibility Is Dependent upon Host Immune Status

The azole antifungals inhibit sterol 14α-demethylase (S14DM), which depletes cellular ergosterol and promotes synthesis of the dysfunctional lipid 14α-methylergosta-8,24(28)-dien-3β,6α-diol, ultimately arresting growth. Mutations that inactivate sterol Δ(5,6)-desaturase (Erg3p), the enzyme that prod...
