mnn9 — Candida albicans

Summary

C6_02940C_A, also known as mnn9 in Candida albicans, encodes a mannan polymerase subunit with mannosyltransferase activity, a component of the Mannan Polymerase II Complex localized to the Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum. The gene is associated with protein N-linked glycosylation, mannan and cell wall mannoprotein anabolism, and sucrose metabolism. It is linked to phenotypic switching, cell adhesion, biofilm formation, hyphal growth, hypersensitivity, cell death, endocytosis, filamentous growth, and homeostasis. Studies of related genes in other species link the family to similar glycosylation functions.
