The Candida albicans virulence factor candidalysin polymerizes in solution to form membrane pores and damage epithelial cells
Candida albicans causes severe invasive candidiasis. C. albicans infection requires the virulence factor candidalysin (CL) which damages target cell membranes. However, the mechanism that CL uses to permeabilize membranes is unclear. We reveal that CL forms membrane pores using a unique mechanism. U...
