J Fungi (Basel)
. 2024 Jan;
10(1).
PMID: 38276029
is a major human pathogenic fungus that is distinguished by its capability to switch from a yeast to a hyphal morphology under different conditions. Here, we analyze the cellular effects...

PMID: 36200752
Heme can serve as iron source in many environments, including the iron-poor animal host environment. The fungal pathobiont expresses a family of extracellular CFEM hemophores that capture heme from host...

PLoS Genet
. 2022 Sep;
18(9):e1010390.
PMID: 36084128
Heme (iron-protoporphyrin IX) is an essential but potentially toxic cellular cofactor. While most organisms are heme prototrophs, many microorganisms can utilize environmental heme as iron source. The pathogenic yeast Candida...

Cell Microbiol
. 2020 Oct;
23(2):e13282.
PMID: 33104284
Candida albicans is a major fungal pathogen that can utilise hemin and haemoglobin as iron sources in the iron-scarce host environment. While C. albicans is a heme prototroph, we show...

mBio
. 2020 Apr;
11(2).
PMID: 32317324
A large portion of biological iron is found in the form of an iron-protoporphyrin IX complex, or heme. In the human host environment, which is exceptionally poor in free iron,...

Biochim Biophys Acta Proteins Proteom
. 2020 Jan;
1868(3):140135.
PMID: 31964485
Heat shock proteins are best known for their role as chaperonins involved in general proteostasis, but they can also participate in specific cellular regulatory pathways, e.g. via their post-translational modification....

Bar-Yosef H, Gildor T, Ramirez-Zavala B, Schmauch C, Weissman Z, Pinsky M, et al.
Front Cell Infect Microbiol
. 2018 Feb;

PMID: 29473018
The human pathogenic fungus can switch between yeast and hyphal morphologies as a function of environmental conditions and cellular physiology. The yeast-to-hyphae morphogenetic switch is activated by well-established, kinase-based signal...

PMID: 29190757
We investigated whether long-lived weight-reduced αMUPA mice differ from their wild types in postnatal body composition and leptin level, and whether these differences are affected by maternal-borne factors. Newborn αMUPA...

PMID: 27617569
Pathogenic microorganisms must cope with extremely low free-iron concentrations in the host's tissues. Some fungal pathogens rely on secreted haemophores that belong to the Common in Fungal Extracellular Membrane (CFEM)...
