Codon utilisation in the pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans.
The imperfect fungus, Candida albicans is the major yeast pathogen in humans (1). We have analysed the codon usage in eleven C. albicans gene sequences reported in the EMBL and GenBank databases (Table). The codons are divided into three groups (low, medium and high) based upon their codon usage (Table), and these groups are compared with analogous groups for the highly expressed genes from S. ...
متن کاملThe Candida Genome Database (CGD), a community resource for Candida albicans gene and protein information
The Candida Genome Database (CGD) is a new database that contains genomic information about the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans. CGD is a public resource for the research community that is interested in the molecular biology of this fungus. CGD curators are in the process of combing the scientific literature to collect all C.albicans gene names and aliases; to assign gene ontolog...
متن کاملComparative evolutionary genomics unveils the molecular mechanism of reassignment of the CTG codon in Candida spp.
Using the (near) complete genome sequences of the yeasts Candida albicans, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Schizosaccharomyces pombe, we address the evolution of a unique genetic code change, which involves decoding of the standard leucine-CTG codon as serine in Candida spp. By using two complementary comparative genomics approaches, we have been able to shed new light on both the origin of the n...
متن کاملGenome-wide functional analysis in Candida albicans
Candida albicans is an important etiological agent of superficial and life-threatening infections in individuals with compromised immune systems. To date, we know of several overlapping genetic networks that govern virulence attributes in this fungal pathogen. Classical use of deletion mutants has led to the discovery of numerous virulence factors over the years, and genome-wide functional anal...
متن کاملThe Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation
Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...
