- W1549028085 abstract "Cryptococcus neoformans is the leading cause of fungal meningitis in humans. Production of a polysaccharide capsule is a key virulence property for the fungus and capsule synthesis is regulated by iron levels. Given that iron acquisition is an important aspect of virulence for many pathogens, we employed serial analysis of gene expression (SAGE) to examine the transcriptome under iron-limiting and iron-replete conditions. Initially, we demonstrated by SAGE and Northern analysis that iron limitation results in an elevated transcript level for the CAP60 gene that is required for capsule production. We also identified genes encoding putative components for iron transport and homeostasis, including the FTR1 (iron permease) gene, with higher transcript levels in the low-iron condition. An FTR1 disruption mutant grows more slowly than wild-type cells in low-iron medium, and shows delayed growth and altered capsule regulation in iron-replete medium. Iron deprivation also resulted in elevated SAGE tags for putative extracellular mannoproteins and the GPI8 gene encoding a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) transamidase. The GPI8 gene appears to be essential while disruption of the CIG1 gene encoding a mannoprotein resulted in impaired growth in low-iron medium and altered capsule response to the iron-replete condition. Additionally, we found that iron-replete conditions led to elevated transcripts for genes for iron storage, nitrogen metabolism, glycolysis, mitochondrial function, lipid metabolism and calmodulin-calcineurin signalling. Overall, these studies provide the first view of the C. neoformans transcriptional response to different iron levels." @default.
