Endoplasmic reticulum stress reduces caspofungin resistance in Cryptococcus neoformans

ABSTRACT Echinocandin antifungal drugs, such as caspofungin, inhibit β-1,3-glucan synthesis to impair cell wall formation. Caspofungin is effective in the clinic against Aspergillus and Candida species but ineffective against Cryptococcus neoformans, the fungus responsible for life-threatening meningoencephalitis in im...

Subunits of adaptor protein complex-1 make distinct contributions to the virulence of Cryptococcus neoformans

It is demonstrated that deficiencies in the AP-1 complex impair C. neoformans virulence, reveal distinct roles for individual subunits, and identify the complex as a potential target for therapeutic intervention in cryptococcosis.

The AP-1 adaptor complex is required for cell surface modifications and the survival of Cryptococcus neoformans in phagocytic cells

ABSTRACT The pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans causes life-threatening meningoencephalitis in individuals with compromised immune systems. The ability of the fungus to cause disease depends on key cell-surface features, such as a polysaccharide capsule that protects it from the mammalian immune system. However,...
