Abstract excerpt
Cryptococcus neoformans is an important human fungal pathogen that also serves as a model for studies of fungal pathogenesis. C. neoformans contains several genes encoding peptidyl-prolyl cis/trans isomerases (PPIases), enzymes that catalyse changes in the folding and conformation of target proteins. Three distinct classes of PPIases have been identified: cyclophilins, FK506-binding proteins (FKBPs) and...
