Functional, genetic and bioinformatic characterization of a calcium/calmodulin kinase gene in Sporothrix schenckii
29 Nov 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Sporothrix schenckii is a pathogenic, dimorphic fungus, the etiological agent of sporotrichosis, a subcutaneous lymphatic mycosis. Dimorphism in S. schenckii responds to second messengers such as cAMP and calcium, suggesting the possible involvement of a calcium/calmodulin kinase in its regulation. In this study we describe a novel calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase gene in S. schenckii,...
