Herein, we employ an integrative approach to investigate the organization of plasma membrane protein complexes in Candida glabrata, focusing on two abundant and essential membrane proteins, the β-(1,3)-glucan synthase (GS) and the proton pump Pma1. We show that treatment with caspofungin, an echinocandin antifungal that targets GS, disrupts the native distribution of membrane protein complexes and alters membrane biophysical properties. Perturbation of the sphingolipid biosynthesis further modulates drug susceptibility, revealing that the lipid environment plays an integral role in membrane protein organization and GS-echinocandin interactions. Our work highlights the importance of characterizing membrane proteins in their native context to understand their functions and inform the development of novel antifungal therapies. |
