The Importance of Vacuolar Ion Homeostasis and Trafficking in Hyphal Development and Virulence in Candida albicans
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The vacuole of Candida albicans plays a significant role in many processes including homeostasis control, cellular trafficking, dimorphic switching, and stress tolerance. Thus, understanding the factors affecting vacuole function is important for the identification of new drug targets needed in response to the world’s increasing levels of invasive infections and the growing issue of fungal drug resistance. Past studies have shown that vacuolar proton-translocating ATPases (V-ATPases) play a central role in pH homeostasis and filamentation. Vacuolar protein sorting components (VPS) regulate V-ATPases assembly and at the same time affect hyphal development. As well, vacuolar calcium exchange systems like Yvc1 and Pmc1 maintain cytosolic calcium levels while being affected by V-ATPases function. All these proteins play a role in the virulence and pathogenesis of C. albicans. This review highlights the relationships among V-ATPases, VPS, and vacuolar calcium exchange proteins while summarizing their importance in C. albicans infections.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
