Abstract:Fungal pathogens are a growing threat to human health and global food security as they are becoming increasingly resistant to the few existing antifungal treatments. Cdc14 is a protein phosphatase primarily known for its essential role in controlling mitotic exit in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, in other fungal species Cdc14 is non‐essential and the reasons for its strict conservation across Dikarya remain unclear. Recently, Cdc14 was shown to be required for host infection by several plan… Show more
