Iron 77-81 IK cytokine Homo sapiens 0-4 24796871-3 2014 Csa2 is involved in iron uptake from hemoglobin and heme proteins; however, its precise role is unclear. Iron 20-24 IK cytokine Homo sapiens 0-4 24796871-4 2014 Here, we provide quantitative evidence of the involvement of Csa2 in the utilization of iron from human hemoglobin during C. albicans hyphal growth. Iron 88-92 IK cytokine Homo sapiens 61-65 24796871-8 2014 Furthermore, hemoglobin binding was impaired in the csa2Delta/Delta mutant compared with the wt and csa2Delta/Delta::CSA2 strains, revealing that Csa2 is involved in the utilization of hemoglobin as an iron source by the hyphal form of C. albicans. Iron 202-206 IK cytokine Homo sapiens 146-150
