Genome-scale CRISPR screening reveals that C3aR signaling is critical for rapid capture of fungi by macrophages
29 Sept 2022
Abstract excerpt
The fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum (Hc) invades, replicates within, and destroys macrophages. To interrogate the molecular mechanisms underlying this interaction, we conducted a host-directed CRISPR-Cas9 screen and identified 361 genes that modify macrophage susceptibility to Hc infection, greatly expanding our understanding of host gene networks targeted by Hc. We identified pathways that have not been...
