Molecular cloning, characterization and differential expression of DRK1 in Sporothrix schenckii
22 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
The dimorphism of Sporothrix schenckii (S. schenckii) reflects a developmental switch in morphology and lifestyle that is necessary for virulence. DRK1, a hybrid histidine kinase, functions as a global regulator of dimorphism and virulence in Blastomyces dermatitidis (B. dermatitidis) and Histoplasma capsulatum (H. capsulatum). The partial cDNA sequence of DRK1 of S. schenckii, designated SsDRK1, was obtained...
