Distinct STRIPAK subunits drive conserved and subunit-specific signaling programs in Cryptococcus neoformans

Patricia P Peterson, Sarah Croog, Yeseul Choi…·Joseph Heitman

This study identifies distinct roles of STRIPAK subunits in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing that core subunits maintain genome stability and virulence while Mob3 promotes hypervirulence through enhanced host adaptation.
