Cryptococcus neoformans Rim101 Is Associated with Cell Wall Remodeling and Evasion of the Host Immune Responses
16 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Infectious microorganisms often play a role in modulating the immune responses of their infected hosts. We demonstrate that Cryptococcus neoformans signals through the Rim101 transcription factor to regulate cell wall composition and the host-pathogen interface. In the absence of Rim101, C. neoformans exhibits an altered cell surface in response to host signals, generating an excessive and ineffective...
