Role of clathrin-mediated endocytosis in the use of heme and hemoglobin by the fungal pathogen <i>Cryptococcus neoformans</i>

2018-06-20

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Heme is a major source of iron for pathogens of humans, and its use is critical in determining the outcome of infection and disease. Cryptococcus neoformans is an encapsulated fungal pathogen that causes life-threatening infections in immunocompromised individuals. C. neoformans effectively uses heme as an iron source but the underlying mechanisms are poorly defined. Non-iron metalloporphyrins...
