Q5AEM6 Candidapepsin-8 Secreted aspartic peptidases (SAPs) are a group of ten acidichydrolases considered as key virulence factors. These enzymes supplythe fungus with nutrient amino acids as well as are able to degrade theselected host's proteins involved in the immune defense. Serves as amajor regulator of MSB2-processing which activates CEK1 MAPK-signalingaffecting biofilm formation and oropharyngeal candidiasis. Moreover,acts toward human hemoglobin though limited proteolysis to generate avariety of antimicrobial hemocidins, enabling to compete with the othermicroorganisms of the same physiological niche using the microbicidalpeptides generated from the host protein.
