However, azole-resistant strains appear repeatedly in the environment, posing a major threat to human health. Several reports have shown that mitochondria are associated with the virulence of pathogenic fungi. However, there are few studies on the mechanisms of mitochondria-mediated azoles resistance. Here, we first performed mitochondrial proteomic analysis on multiple\n              <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n              species (\n              <jats:italic>Candida albicans<\/jats:italic>\n              ,\n              <jats:italic>Nakaseomyces glabrata<\/jats:italic>\n              ,\n              <jats:italic>Pichia kudriavzevii,<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>Candida auris<\/jats:italic>\n              ) and analyzed the differentially expressed mitochondrial proteins (DEMPs) between azole-sensitive and azole-resistant\n              <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n              species. Subsequently, we performed Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis, gene ontology analysis, and protein-protein interaction network analysis of DEMPs. Our results showed that a total of 417, 165, and 25 DEMPs were identified in resistant\n              <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic>\n              ,\n              <jats:italic>N. glabrata,<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              , respectively. These DEMPs were enriched in ribosomal biogenesis at cytosol and mitochondria, tricarboxylic acid cycle, glycolysis, transporters, ergosterol, and cell wall mannan biosynthesis. The high activations of these cellular activities, found in\n              <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>C. auris<\/jats:italic>\n              (at low scale), were mostly opposite to those observed in two fermenter species\u2014\n              <jats:italic>N. glabrata<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>P. kudriavzevii<\/jats:italic>\n              . Several transcription factors including Rtg3 were highly produced in resistant\n              <jats:italic>C. albicans<\/jats:italic>\n              that experienced a complex I activation of mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC). The reduction of mitochondrial-related activities and complex IV\/V of ETC in\n              <jats:italic>N. glabrata<\/jats:italic>\n              and\n              <jats:italic>P. kudriavzevii<\/jats:italic>\n              was companying with the reduced proteins of Tor1, Hog1, and Snf1\/Snf4.\n            <\/jats:p>\n            <jats:sec>\n              <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n              <jats:p>\n                <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                spp. are common organisms that cause a variety of invasive diseases. However,\n                <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                spp. are resistant to azoles, which hinders antifungal therapy. Exploring the drug-resistance mechanism of pathogenic\n                <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                spp. will help improve the prevention and control strategy and discover new targets. Mitochondria, as an important organelle in eukaryotic cells, are closely related to a variety of cellular activities. However, the role of mitochondrial proteins in mediating azole resistance in\n                <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                spp. has not been elucidated. Here, we analyzed the mitochondrial proteins and signaling pathways that mediate azole resistance in\n                <jats:italic>Candida<\/jats:italic>\n                spp. to provide ideas and references for solving the problem of azole resistance. Our work may offer new insights into the connection between mitochondria and azoles resistance in pathogenic fungi and highlight the potential clinical value of mitochondrial proteins in the treatment of invasive fungal infections.\n              <\/jats:p>\n            <\/jats:sec>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1128\/spectrum.04042-23","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,5]],"date-time":"2024-03-05T17:26:26Z","timestamp":1709659586000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Divergent mitochondrial responses and metabolic signal pathways secure the azole resistance in Crabtree-positive and negative\n            <i>Candida<\/i>\n            species"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5664-3871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Meng","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Mycology, Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Skin Diseases and STIs, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingwen","family":"Peng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Critical Care Medicine, Nanjing Jinling Hospital, Affiliated Hospital of Medicine School, Nanjing University, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kun","family":"Ren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centers for pharmaceutical preparations, Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Mycology, Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Skin Diseases and STIs, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3272-2513","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dongmei","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology &amp; Immunology, Georgetown University Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8719-0462","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiaodong","family":"She","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Mycology, Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Skin Diseases and STIs, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Weida","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Mycology, Institute of Dermatology, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College, Nanjing, China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Molecular Biology for Skin Diseases and STIs, Nanjing, China"},{"name":"Center for Global Health, School of Public Health, Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.15698\/mic2020.06.718"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1439-0507.2009.01691.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_4_2","volume-title":"Introduction to mycology","author":"McGinnis MR","year":"1996","unstructured":"McGinnis MR, Tyring SK. 1996.
