Protein Composition of Infectious Spores Reveals Novel Sexual Development and Germination Factors in Cryptococcus

27 Aug 2015

Abstract excerpt

Spores are an essential cell type required for long-term survival across diverse organisms in the tree of life and are a hallmark of fungal reproduction, persistence, and dispersal. Among human fungal pathogens, spores are presumed infectious particles, but relatively little is known about this robust cell type. Here we used the meningitis-causing fungus Cryptococcus neoformans to determine the roles of...
