Abstract
C. glabrata, an opportunistic fungal pathogen, can adapt and resist to different stress conditions. It is highly resistant to oxidant stress compared to other Candida spp and to the phylogenetically related but non-pathogen Saccharomyces cerevisiae. In this work, we describe the Trx/Trr system of C. glabrata composed of Trr1 and Trr2 (thioredoxin reductases) and Trx2 (thioredoxin) that are localized in the cytoplasm and Trx3 present in the mitochondrion. The transcriptional induction of TRR2 and TRX2 by oxidants depends on Yap1 and Skn7 and TRR1 and TRX3 have a low expression level. Both TRR2 and TRX2 play an important role in the oxidative stress response. The absence of TRX2 causes auxotrophy of methionine and cysteine. Trr1 and Trr2 are necessary for survival at high temperatures and for the chronological life span of C. glabrata. Furthermore, the Trx/Trr system is needed for survival in the presence of neutrophils. The role of TRR1 and TRX3 is not clear, but in the presence of neutrophils, they have non-overlapping functions with their TRR2 and TRX2 paralogues.
期刊介绍:
Fungal Genetics and Biology, formerly known as Experimental Mycology, publishes experimental investigations of fungi and their traditional allies that relate structure and function to growth, reproduction, morphogenesis, and differentiation. This journal especially welcomes studies of gene organization and expression and of developmental processes at the cellular, subcellular, and molecular levels. The journal also includes suitable experimental inquiries into fungal cytology, biochemistry, physiology, genetics, and phylogeny.
Fungal Genetics and Biology publishes basic research conducted by mycologists, cell biologists, biochemists, geneticists, and molecular biologists.
Research Areas include:
• Biochemistry
• Cytology
• Developmental biology
• Evolutionary biology
• Genetics
• Molecular biology
• Phylogeny
• Physiology.
