Candidalysin is a Fungal Peptide Toxin Critical for Mucosal Infection and Immune Activation

TL;DR: This work identifies the first, to the authors' knowledge, fungal cytolytic peptide toxin in the opportunistic pathogen Candida albicans, which directly damages epithelial membranes, triggers a danger response signalling pathway and activates epithelial immunity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endless possibilities: translation termination and stop codon recognition

TL;DR: A review of recent advances in the use of optimized, complex, reconstituted in vitro termination reactions to identify the roles of key termination factors, and the solution of tertiary structures of termination factors has allowed a reappraisal of termination factor structure and function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Oral epithelial cells orchestrate innate type 17 responses to Candida albicans through the virulence factor candidalysin.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the innate antifungal responses to C. albicans are driven by a synergy between cellular damage triggered by candidalysin that is further amplified by interleukin-17 driven inflammation, and establishment of IL-1– and IL-17–dependent innate immunity is induced by tissue-damaging hyphae.
