(Submitter supplied) Cryptococcus neoformans is an environmental fungus and an opportunistic human pathogen. Previous studies have demonstrated major alterations in its transcriptional profile as this microorganism enters the hostile environment of the human host. To assess the role of chromatin remodeling in host-induced transcriptional responses, we identified the C. neoformans Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase and demonstrated its function by complementation studies of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. more...

(Submitter supplied) We report on our study the role of C. neoformans transcription factor Pdr802, whose expression is highly induced under host-like conditions in vitro and is critical for C. neoformans dissemination and virulence in a mouse model of infection. We found that direct targets of Pdr802 include the calcineurin targets Had1 and Pmc1, which are important for C. neoformans virulence, the transcription factor Bzp4, which promotes cryptococcal melanization and capsule thickness, and 35 transmembrane transporters. more...

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: To examine the comparative transcriptional profiles of WT and rim101 mutant cells in host-mimicking in vitro conditions to determine genes that are responsible for the increased virulence of the rim101 strain. The rim101 mutant is able to trigger an overactive inflammatory response, presumably by exposing an antigenic trigger. Using transcriptional profiling, we determined that many genes involved in cell wall processes were differentially transcribed between the wild type and the mutant strain.

(Submitter supplied) Cryptococcus neoformans is a prevalent human fungal pathogen that must survive within various tissues in order to establish a human infection. We have identified the C. neoformans Rim101 transcription factor, a highly conserved pH-response regulator in many fungal species. The rim101- mutant strain displays growth defects similar to other fungal species in the presence of alkaline pH, increased salt concentrations, and iron limitation. more...

(Submitter supplied) Cryptococcus neoformans is an important pathogen that annually kills 200,000 people worldwide. It survives in the environment as a yeast or spore and can also proliferate within host macrophages after being inhaled into the lungs. In conditions of immunocompromise, cryptococcal cells can escape from the lungs to the brain, where they cause a deadly meningoencephalitis that is both difficult and expensive to treat. more...

(Submitter supplied) We characterized the impact of the J domain co-chaperone, Dnj4, on the transcriptional response to DNA damage induced by hydroxyurea (an inhibitor of ribonucleotide reductase) in Cryptococcus neoformans. We treated wild type (WT) and mutant dnj4∆ log phase cells with hydroxyurea for one hour and found that the loss of DNJ4 impaired the transcriptional response to HU. In particular, the up-regulation of DNA damage and repair genes as well as iron uptake genes was impaired in these mutants. more...

(Submitter supplied) Here we studied genome-wide localization of Gcn5 under normal and KCl stress conditions in both yeast species. We found that in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the enrichment of Gcn5 on genes changes from a relatively even distribution between coding region and intergenic region in the absence of stress, to a predominant localization in gene coding regions under stress conditions. This altered pattern changes are at global level indicates an important role of Gcn5 in modifying chromatin structure for stress adaptation in S. more...

(Submitter supplied) This is parallel comparison of gene regulation by Gcn5 in evolutionarily divergent yeasts S. pombe and S. cerevisiae. Our study showed Gcn5 is required for a similar spectrum of stress responses in both organisms, including the response to KCl. This DNA microarray studies is to find conserved or diverged gene regulation pattern under KCl stress condition in the two yeasts. There are 6 subsets in total, 3 subsets in each evolutionarily divergent yeasts including the following: 1 gcn5 mutant compared to wt under rich medium without treatment, 2 gcn5 mutant compared to wild type both under KCl treatment, 3 wild type strains under KCl treatment compared to wild type without treatment. more...

(Submitter supplied) AP-1 like transcription factors play evolutionarily conserved roles in oxidative stress responses as redox sensors in eukaryotes. In this study, we aim to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of an atypical yeast AP-1 like protein, Yap1, in the stress response and virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans. YAP1 expression was induced not only by oxidative stresses, such as H2O2 and diamide, but also by other environmental stresses, such as osmotic and membrane destabilizing stresses. more...

(Submitter supplied) Calcineurin is a highly conserved Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent serine/threonine-specific protein phosphatase that orchestrates cellular Ca2+ signaling responses. In Cryptococcus neoformans, calcineurin is activated by multiple stresses including high temperature, and is essential for stress adaptation and virulence. The transcription factor Crz1 is a major calcineurin effector in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and other fungi. more...

(Submitter supplied) The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans undergoes many phenotypic changes to promote its survival in specific ecological niches and inside the host. To explore the role of chromatin remodeling on the expression of virulence-related traits, we identified and deleted seven genes encoding predicted class I/II histone deacetylases (HDACs) in the C. neoformans genome. Our results identified the HDA1 HDAC gene as a central mediator controlling several cellular processes, including mating and virulence. more...

(Submitter supplied) Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungal pathogen responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths per year. Its critical virulence factor is a polysacharride capsule which grows large upon entry into a mammalian host. We previously identified USV101 as a transcription factor whose deletion results in enlarged capsules. Here, we characterize strains lacking or overexpressing USV101 in terms of their virulence-related phenotypes, the altered course of infection by them and immune response to them in a mouse model, the relationship of Usv101 to other transcription factors involved in capsule regulation, and the changes in Usv101 activity during capsule induction.

We developed a novel method for identifying TFs involved in a specific process and used it to map regulation of the key virulence factor of Cryptococcus neoformans, its capsule. Results: The map, built from expression profiles of 41 TF mutants, includes 20 TFs not previously known to regulate virulence attributes. more...
