Cpl1 localizes to the fungal cell wall and interacts with other cell wall-associated proteins during infection To consolidate our findings that Cpl1 binds to soluble chitin oligomers, which suggests that it may localize to the fungal cell wall, we complemented SG200Δcpl1 by constitutively expressing cpl1 fused to a C-terminal HA-tag.
