Two closely related β-1,2-xylosyltransferases differentially impact cryptococcal glycan synthesis

2026-04-22

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes pulmonary infection in immunocompromised patients, which in severe cases leads to fatal meningoencephalitis. Cryptococcus exhibits unique glycobiology that plays important roles in pathogenesis. Unlike model yeast and other common fungal pathogens, Cryptococcus incorporates xylose, a five-carbon monosaccharide, into its gl...
