The Cryptococcus neoformans Rho-GDP Dissociation Inhibitor Mediates Intracellular Survival and Virulence
9 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
Rho-GDP dissociation inhibitors (Rho-GDI) are repressors of Rho-type monomeric GTPases that control fundamental cellular processes, such as cytoskeletal arrangement, vesicle trafficking, and polarized growth. We identified and altered the expression of the gene encoding a Rho-GDI homolog in the human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans and investigated its impact on pathogenicity in animal models of...
