Characterization of a novel separase-interacting protein and candidate new securin, Eip1p, in the fungal pathogen Candida albicans

Abstract: Proper chromosome segregation is crucial for maintaining genomic stability and dependent on separase, a conserved and essential cohesin protease. Securins are key regulators of separases, but remain elusive in many organisms due to sequence divergence. Here, we demonstrate that the separase homologue Esp1p in the ascomycete Candida albicans, an important pathogen of humans, is essential for chromosome segregation . However, C. albicans lacks a sequence homologue of securins found in model ascomycetes. We sough… Show more

“…Spindle morphology assays were performed as previously described [32] . Generally, overnight cells were collected and fixed with 70% ethanol for 5 min, washed twice with 1 × PBS, incubated in 1.0 μg/ml DAPI for 10 min, and then washed twice with 1 × PBS before being mounted for analysis.…”

“…This SNP resulted in a Tyr236His mutation in the product of the gene B9J08_001308. Its ortholog EIP1 encodes a separase-binding protein in C. albicans and has been implicated in regulating the cell wall integrity, filamentation, and response to antifungals in C. albicans [39].…”
