… Using this model system, we demonstrated that Als proteins … Als proteins are closely related
in structure to adhesin and invasin members of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins. …

… of particular ALS genes in certain isolates, and additional ALS coding … ALS genes results
in a diverse cell-surface Als protein profile that is also affected by growth conditions. The ALS …

… information about C. albicans Als proteins, their true functional relatedness is still relatively
unexplored and the phenotypes observed may be heavily influenced by protein abundance …

… We therefore performed this study to determine to what extent the fungal cell surface Als
proteins of C. albicans might contribute to the formation of mixed microbial aggregates. …

… Alignment of five predicted Als protein sequences indicated conservation of N- and C-terminal …
four other Als proteins analyzed, suggesting identical processing of each protein. Primary-…

… These observations further strengthen our conclusion of cell wall localization for Als proteins
(9) and suggest that Als proteins are continuously present on the surface of C. albicans …

… Therefore, we determined whether Als proteins could form amyloid fibers with properties …
conserved in Als proteins and evolve more slowly than other regions of the proteins. Therefore, …

… The goal of this work was to investigate the role of Als proteins in epithelial adhesion and
damage, and cytokine production. We also evaluated whether Als3 is the moiety that mediates …

… Candida albicans ALS1 was first described … ALS genes and exploring the function of the
Als proteins. Functional studies have focused primarily on the hypothesis that Als proteins are C. …

… Other than the Als proteins, Hwp1 is one of the most studied proteins and probably the …
Moreover, Hwp1 and Als proteins both appear to act on the same aspect of C. albicans biology: …
