Metal Chelation as a Powerful Strategy to Probe Cellular Circuitry Governing Fungal Drug Resistance and Morphogenesis
Fungal pathogens have evolved diverse strategies to sense host-relevant cues and coordinate cellular responses, which enable virulence and drug resistance. Defining circuitry controlling these traits opens new opportunities for chemical diversity in therapeutics, as the cognate inhibitors are rarely explored by conventional screening approaches. This has great potential to address the pressing ...
متن کاملHsp90 Orchestrates Stress Response Signaling Governing Fungal Drug Resistance
The emergence of drug resistance in microbial pathogens provides a poignant example of an evolutionary process with a profound impact on human health. Fungal drug resistance poses a particular concern given the limited number of clinically useful antifungal drugs and the growing population of immunocompromised individuals vulnerable to life-threatening fungal disease [1]. The efficacy of most a...
متن کاملRegulatory circuitry governing morphogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans
4294 Cell Cycle Volume 11 issue 23 A common hallmark of many fungal species is the capacity to undergo cellular morphogenesis programs, which, for fungal pathogens, play critical roles in sexual reproduction, nutrient acquisition and virulence. Fungal morphogenesis comprises a diversity of processes, ranging from spore germination and branching in filamentous fungi such as the pathogen Aspergil...
متن کاملLysine Deacetylases Hda1 and Rpd3 Regulate Hsp90 Function thereby Governing Fungal Drug Resistance
The molecular chaperone Hsp90 is a hub of protein homeostasis and regulatory circuitry. Hsp90 function is regulated by posttranslational modifications including acetylation in mammals; however, whether this regulation is conserved remains unknown. In fungi, Hsp90 governs the evolution of drug resistance by stabilizing signal transducers. Here, we establish that pharmacological inhibition of lys...
متن کاملFungal Biofilms and Drug Resistance
Candida species, including the novel opportunistic pathogen Candida dubliniensis, are now emerging as major agents of nosocomial infections. Many such manifestations of infections associated with the formation of Candida biofilms include those occurring on devices such as indwelling intravascular catheters. Fungal biofilm-associated infections are frequently refractory to conventional therapy b...
