Characterization of additional components of the environmental pH-sensing complex in the pathogenic fungus Cryptococcus neoformans.

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic microorganisms must adapt to changes in their immediate surroundings, including alterations in pH, to survive the shift from the external environment to that of the infected host. In the basidiomycete fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans, these pH changes are primarily sensed by the fungus-specific, alkaline pH-sensing Rim/Pal pathway. The C. neoformans Rim pathway has diverged significantly from...
