Candida glabratais a major fungal pathogen of humans, and the virulence ofC. glabratais increased by inactivation of the transcription factor, Ace2. Our previous examination of the effects of Ace2 inactivation upon the intracellular proteome suggested that the hypervirulence ofC. glabrata ace2mutants might be caused by differences in the secretome. Therefore in this study we have characterised theC. glabratasecretome and examined the effects of Ace2 inactivation upon this extracellular proteome. We have identified 31 distinct proteins in the secretome of wild‐typeC. glabratacells by MS/MS of proteins that were precipitated from the growth medium and enriched by affinity chromatography on concanavalin A. Most of these proteins are predicted to be cell wall proteins, cell wall modifying enzymes and aspartyl proteinases. The endochitinase Cts1 and the endoglucanase Egt2 were not detected in theC. glabratasecretome following Ace2 inactivation. This can account for the cell separation defect ofC. glabrata ace2cells. Ace2 inactivation also resulted in the detection of new proteins in theC. glabratasecretome. The release of such proteins might contribute to the hypervirulence oface2cells.
