Figure Legend Snippet: The reduced cell surface exposure of Epa1 in the tir2-5 awp6-7 sextuple mutant. ( A ) Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) analysis of HA-Epa1 fusion proteins on the cell surface in WT strain (black) and tir2-5 awp6-7 sextuple mutant (red). C. glabrata cells carrying HA-Epa1 from the TEF1 promoter were incubated in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) supplemented with 10% serum at 37°C in 5% CO 2 . Surface exposure was monitored by immunofluorescence after labeling with anti-HA antibody and fluoresceine isothiocyanate (FITC)-conjugated secondary goat anti-mouse antibody. No primary antibody control was included. Average fluorescence of the population was indicated. Plots are representative of data collected in two independent replicate experiments. ( B ) Western analysis of HA-Epa1 fusion protein in the cell wall fraction of WT and tir2-5 awp6-7 sextuple mutant cells incubated in DMEM medium with 10% serum at 37°C in 5% CO 2 . Band intensities were quantified and shown as the ratio of indicated protein vs tubulin. Representative plots of three independent experiments are shown. ( C ) Real-time quantitative reverse transcription PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis for EPA1 expression in C. glabrata cultured as described in ( B ). The expression levels of EPA1 were showed as means ± SD. n = 3 biologically independent experiments. ( D ) Adhesion assay on epithelial cell monolayers. C. glabrata cells of wild type and indicated mutant strains were inoculated with A549 cells in DMEM medium supplemented with 10% serum. After incubation for 4 h, non-adherent Candida cells were removed by washing with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS). The numbers of adherent Candida cells are represented as means ± SD from three independent experiments. ( E ) Cytotoxicity assays. A549 cell damage following treatment with wild type, tir2-5 quadruple mutant, awp6-7 double mutant, or tir2-5 awp6-7 sextuple mutant was determined after co-incubation for 24 h. Relative LDH activity (%) against A549 cells without C. glabrata cells was calculated. Mean data ± SD from three independent experiments was plotted. ( C–E ) Significance was determined using the two-tailed unpaired Student’s t -test. ns, nonsignificant. ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.
