The Involvement of the Cryptococcal Yeast Kexin Protease in the Proteolytic Activation of the Uncleaved Influenza Virus Hemagglutinin Glycoprotein
Findings provide the first biochemical and complementary computational evidence that C. neoformans Kex2p may recognize influenza hemagglutinin, supporting its potential role in hemagglutinin activation during cryptococcal‐influenza co‐infection.
