| Authors: | P C Farley M G Shepherd P A Sullivan |
| Abstract: | Vacuoles prepared from yeast cells of Candida albicans were enriched in proteinase ycaB (EC 3.4.21.48) but not in aminopeptidase or beta-glucosidase. Proteinase ycaB, assayed in situ, increased 1.5-fold during starvation whereas aminopeptidase activity decreased by 25%. Proteinase ycaB increased a further 1.5-fold during germ-tube formation. |
