Two proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae: Pfy1 and Pkc1, play a dual role in activating actin polymerization and in increasing cell viability in the adaptive response to oxidative stress.

abstract：:The mechanistic details of mtDNA maintenance in petite-negative yeasts have remained largely unexplored. We report here that the DNA helicase Hmi1p plays a crucial role in mtDNA stability in Candida albicans. Like its counterpart in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Hmi1p in C. albicans (CaHmi1p) contains a C-terminal mitocho...
