Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic human fungal pathogen that primarily infects immunocompromised patients. The most distinctive feature of C. neoformans is that it contains a highly regulated major virulence factor, the polysaccharide capsule. We demonstrate in this paper that a copper-dependent transcription factor gene CUF1 has a negative role in capsule biosynthesis. METHODS: Colony...
