A Novel Hybrid Iron Regulation Network Combines Features from Pathogenic and Nonpathogenic Yeasts

Abstract excerpt

Iron is an essential micronutrient for both pathogens and their hosts, which restrict iron availability during infections in an effort to prevent microbial growth. Successful human pathogens like the yeast Candida glabrata have thus developed effective iron acquisition strategies. Their regulation has been investigated well for some pathogenic fungi and in the model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which...
