Novel Mutation Sites in the Development of Vancomycin- Intermediate Resistance in Staphylococcus aureus.

abstract：:PP2A-like phosphatases share high homology with PP2A enzymes and are composed of a catalytic subunit and a regulatory subunit. In Candida albicans, the PP2A-like catalytic subunit SIT4 regulates cell growth, morphogenesis, and virulence. However, the functions of its regulatory subunits remain unclear. Here, by homolo...
