RNA interference screening reveals host CaMK4 as a regulator of cryptococcal uptake and pathogenesis [PDF]

, 2017
Cryptococcus neoformans , the causative agent of cryptococcosis, is an opportunistic fungal pathogen that kills over 200,000 individuals annually. This yeast may grow freely in body fluids, but it also flourishes within host cells.

Galactoxylomannans of Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1992
Galactoxylomannans (GalXMs) from single isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans serotypes A, B, and D were isolated from culture supernatants and then purified by affinity, ion-exchange, and gel-filtration chromatography. GalXMs are a group of closely related complex polysaccharides.

Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Cryptococcus–Epithelial Interactions [PDF]

Journal of Fungi, 2017
The fungal pathogen, Cryptococcus neoformans, causes devastating levels of morbidity and mortality. Infections with this fungus tend to be predominantly in immunocompromised individuals, such as those with HIV. Infections initiate with inhalation of cryptococcal cells and entry of the pathogen into the lungs. The bronchial epithelial cells of the upper

Melanogenesis in Cryptococcus neoformans [PDF]

Microbiology, 1988
Melanogenesis in Cryptococcus neoformans begins with the oxidation of dihydroxyphenylalanine by the enzyme phenol oxidase. The succeeding steps are very rapid. Two intermediates, dopachrome and 5,6-dihydroxyindole, have been isolated and characterized by high performance liquid chromatography. A pathway of melanin formation in C. neoformans is proposed,
