BACKGROUND Biofilms are surface-associated microbial communities with significant environmental and medical impact. Here, we focus on an adherence mechanism that permits biofilm formation by Candida albicans, the major invasive fungal pathogen of humans. RESULTS The Als surface-protein family has been implicated in biofilm formation, and we show that Als1 and Als3 have critical but redundant ...
HWP1 encodes an adhesin of Candida albicans and has been implicated in filamentation and virulence. URA3, an often-used transformation selection marker, is apparently incorrectly expressed when integrated at the HWP1 locus, which results in an attenuated virulence phenotype. Expression of URA3 is compromised by ectopic integration at other loci as well. In contrast, prior studies from the autho...
Previous evaluation of HWP1 in systemic candidiasis in CBA/J mice was done with Candida albicans strains with differing genetic locations of URA3 as a result of Ura-blaster mutagenesis. In this study, the presence of HWP1 and the location of URA3 contributed to the severity of murine systemic candidiasis in BALB/c mice.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Hyphal wall protein 1 (HWP1) is an important adhesin which usually is expressed on the germ tube and hyphal surface produced by different Candida species. The hyphal wall protein-coding gene (HWP1) was evaluated as a novel identification and phylogenetic marker in Candida tropicalis, C. orthopsilosis, C. parapsilosis and C. glabrata. MATERIALS AND METHODS Initially, four...
Candida albicans is an opportunistic fungal pathogen found as mycoflora in the human body surfaces. Sevral genes play a crucial rule in its virulence including Hwp1 (hyphal wall protein 1), BCR1 and ALS gene family. Hwp1 gene is a responsible for coding a cell surface protein, which mediates biofilm formation in candida albicans. Here we investigated the presence of the HWP1gene was characteris...
Coeliac disease is a T-cell-mediated autoimmune disease of the small intestine that is induced by ingestion of gluten proteins from wheat, barley, or rye. We postulate that Candida albicans is a trigger in the onset of coeliac disease. The virulence factor of C albicans-hyphal wall protein 1 (HWP1)-contains aminoacid sequences that are identical or highly homologous to known coeliac disease-rel...
OBJECTIVES Systemic candidal infections are a common problem in hospitalized patients due to central venous catheters fabricated using silicone biomaterial (SB). We therefore evaluated the effect of human serum on C. albicans biofilm morphology, growth, and the expression of virulence-related genes on SB in vitro. METHODS We cultivated C. albicans SC5314 (wild-type strain, WT) and its derivat...
کاندیدا آلبیکنس یک قارچ فرصت طلب وشایع ترین عامل پاتوژن قارچی انسان است. ژنهای متعددی ازقبیلhwp1 (پروتئین دیواره سلولی هایفی)درروند پاتوژنیسیته این قارچ موثرند. ژن hwp1،یک عامل شناخته شده ای درکاندیدا آلبیکنس است که این پروتئین دیواره سلولی باعث تشکیل بیوفیلم می شود. در این تحقیق به بررسی حضور ژن hwp1 کاندیدا آلبیکنس در ایزوله های بدست آمده از زنان مبتلا به واژنیت کاندیدیازیس و نقش آن در اتصال ...
Proteins that are covalently linked to the skeletal polysaccharides of the cell wall of Candida albicans play a major role in the colonization of the vaginal mucosal surface, which may result in vaginitis. Here we report on the variability of the cell-wall proteome of C. albicans as a function of the ambient O(2) concentration and iron availability. For these studies, cells were cultured at 37 ...
