The RAM signaling pathway links morphology, thermotolerance, and CO2 tolerance in the global fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans
23 Nov 2022
Abstract excerpt
The environmental pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans claims over 180,000 lives each year. Survival of this basidiomycete at host CO 2 concentrations has only recently been considered an important virulence trait. Through screening gene knockout libraries constructed in a CO 2 -tolerant clinical strain, we found mutations leading to CO 2 sensitivity are enriched in pathways activated by heat stress, including...
