Topoisomerase I Is Essential in Cryptococcus neoformans: Role in Pathobiology and as an Antifungal Target
1 May 1999
Abstract excerpt
Topisomerase I is the target of several toxins and chemotherapy agents, and the enzyme is essential for viability in some organisms, including mice and drosophila. We have cloned the TOP1 gene encoding topoisomerase I from the opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans. The C. neoformans topoisomerase I contains a fungal insert also found in topoisomerase I from Candida albicans and Saccharomyces...
