Role of a CUF1/CTR4 copper regulatory axis in the virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans
8 Feb 2007
Abstract excerpt
The study of regulatory networks in human pathogens such as Cryptococcus neoformans provides insights into host-pathogen interactions that may allow for correlation of gene expression patterns with clinical outcomes. In the present study, deletion of the cryptococcal copper-dependent transcription factor 1 (Cuf1) led to defects in growth and virulence factor expression in low copper conditions. In mouse models,...
