(Submitter supplied) SAGA member Ada2 is required for the majority of H3K9 acetylation in C. neoformans. To identify specific genomic loci that exhibit Ada2-dependent H3K9 acetylation, we performed ChIP-Seq against H3K9ac in wildtype and ada2Δ cells.

(Submitter supplied) To contextualize the cryptococcal Spt-Ada-Gcn5 Acetyltransferase (SAGA) member Ada2 in the capsule regulatory network, RNA-Seq was performed on wildtype, ada2Δ and two other transcription factors, nrg1Δ and cir1Δ, which like ada2Δ are also defective for capsule formation, virulence and filamentation.

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: Understanding the iron-responsive regulatory networks in Cryptococcus neoformans. Methods: The transcriptome profiles of the wild-type, cir1 mutant and hapX mutant were generated by RNA-seq using Illumina Hiseq, in triplicate. The transcriptome profiles of each mutant was compared with that of the wild-type strain. Results: The iron-responsive transcription factors, Cir1 and HapX, are major regulators for iron acquisition and metabolism in C. more...

(Submitter supplied) Cryptococcus neoformans is an opportunistic basidiomycete pathogen that is a major etiological agent of fungal meningoencephalitis leading to more than 180,000 deaths worldwide annually. For this pathogen, the polysaccharide capsule is a key virulence factor, which interferes with the phagocytosis by host innate immune cells, but its complex signaling networks remain elusive. In this study, we systematically analyzed capsule biosynthesis and signaling networks by using C. more...

(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) 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.

(Submitter supplied) Purpose: Key steps in understanding a biological process include identifying genes that are involved and determining how they are regulated. 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...

(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) identify binding sites of Gat201 in C. neoformans cells grown in DMEM at 37C in 5% CO2 The anti-phagocytic polysaccharide capsule of the yeast C. neoformans is a major virulence attribute. However, previous studies of the pleiotropic virulence determinant Gat201, a GATA-family transcription factor, suggested that capsule-independent antiphagocytic mechanisms exist. We have determined that Gat201 controls the mRNA levels of ~1100 genes (16% of the genome) and binds the upstream regions of ~130 genes. more...

(Submitter supplied) Iron overload is known to exacerbate many infectious diseases and, conversely, iron withholding is an important defense strategy for mammalian hosts. The mechanisms by which fungal pathogens sense iron in the mammalian host environment are poorly understood. The AIDS-associated pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans provides a unique opportunity to explore iron sensing in the context of infection because iron levels control elaboration of the polysaccharide capsule that is the major virulence factor of the fungus. 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) The SAGA complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains greater than 20 components that acetylate and deubiquitylate nucleosomal histones. Its acetyltransferase, Gcn5 preferentially acetylates histones H3 and H2B and is regulated through interactions with Ada2 and Ngg1/Ada3. The N-terminal region of Ada2 contains a SANT domain that contacts Gcn5 near its catalytic site. Sequence alignments of Ada2 homologues indicate a conserved ~120 amino acid residue central region that interacts with Ngg1.To examine the function of this central region, we constructed ada2 alleles with mutations of clustered conserved residues. more...

(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...
