Abstract:

We present a genome assembly from an individual Tausonia pullulans (a basidiomycete yeast; Basidiomycota; Tremellomycetes; Cystofilobasidiales; Mrakiaceae). The genome sequence is 23.9 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 20 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 18.82 kilobases in length.

Abstract:

Agaricostilbum pulcherrimum is an anomaly and is difficult to place systematically. It possesses a yeast phase, and as in most basidiomycetous yeasts, mitosis has not been investigated cytoiogically. Yeast cells of A. pulcherrimum were prepared for immunofluorescence and transmission electron microscopy by a freeze-substitution method. A cladistic analysis of cell cycle characters among A. pulcherrimum and two ascomycetous and two basidiomycetous yeasts, performed with phylogenetic analysis using parsimony, revealed that A. pulcherrimum is basal within these basidiomycetes.

Antarctica is known as one of the harshest environments on Earth, with a frigid and dry climate. Soil yeasts living in such extreme environments can grow by decomposing organic compounds at sub-zero temperatures. Thus far, a list of lichen and non-lichen fungi isolated from the area near Syowa Station, the base of the Japanese Antarctic research expedition, has been compiled and a total of 76 species of fungi have been reported.

ABSTRACT Elongation factor 3 (EF3) is considered a promising drug target for the control of fungal diseases because of its requirement for protein synthesis and survival of fungi and a lack of EF3 in the mammalian host. However, EF3 has been characterized only in ascomycete yeast. In order to understand the role of EF3 in a basidiomycete yeast, we cloned the gene encoding EF3 from Cryptococcus neoformans(CnEF3), an important fungal pathogen in immunocompromised patients, including those infected with human immunodeficiency virus.CnEF3 was found to encode a 1,055-amino-acid protein and has 44%

Ten attachment-minus (Att-) mutants, deficient in phase I attachment, did not adhere after 5-day incubations, further suggesting a lack of stronger, independent phase II adhesion.

Laccases secreted by saprotrophic basidiomycete fungi are versatile biocatalysts able to oxidize a wide range of aromatic compounds using oxygen as the sole requirement. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a preferred host for engineering fungal laccases. To assist the difficult secretion of active enzymes by yeast, the native signal peptide is usually replaced by the preproleader of S. cerevisiae alfa mating factor (MFα1). However, in most cases, only basal enzyme levels are obtained. During directed evolution in S. cerevisiae of laccases fused to the α-factor preproleader, we demonstrated that mutat

Basidiomycete systematics has a history of dramatic change with the introduction of new forms of information. We present a new class level taxonomy for basidiomycetes consisting of the Urediniomycetes emend., Ustilaginomycetes, and Hymenomycetes. The primary source of characters for this analysis is the 18S rRNA gene. Other characters such as cellular carbohydrate composition, major ubiquinone system, 5S rRNA sequence, basidium morphology, and septum and spindle pole body ultrastructure are considered. Comparison of the new class system to other basidiomycete taxonomies is made. Use of 18S seq

Abstract:

ABSTRACT The genome of the basidiomycete pathogenic yeast Cryptococcus neoformans carries two UDP-glucose epimerase genes (UGE1 and UGE2). UGE2 maps within a galactose cluster composed of a galactokinase homologue gene and a galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase. This clustered organization of the GAL genes is similar to that in most of the hemiascomycete yeast genomes and in Schizosaccharomyces pombe but is otherwise not generally conserved in the fungal kingdom. UGE1 has been identified as necessary for galactoxylomannan biosynthesis and virulence. Here, we show that UGE2 is necessary fo

ABSTRACT The polysaccharide capsule is the main virulence factor of the basidiomycetous yeast Cryptococcus neoformans. Four genes (CAP10, CAP59, CAP60, and CAP64) essential for capsule formation have been previously identified, although their roles in the biosynthetic pathway remain unclear. A genetic and bioinformatics approach allowed the identification of six CAP64-homologous genes, named CAS3, CAS31, CAS32, CAS33, CAS34, and CAS35, in the C. neoformans genome. This gene family is apparently specific in a subclass of the basidiomycete fungi. Single as well as double deletions of these genes

Using existing isogenic strains (JEC20 and JEC21) that differed only at the mating-type locus and a clinical strain (CDC46) that possessed a mitochondrial genotype different from JEC20 and JEC21, we constructed strains that differed only in mating type and mitochondrial genotype.

Cryptococcosis is a prevalent fungal infection of the central nervous system (CNS) caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, a yeast with a polysaccharide capsule in the basidiomycete group. Normally, C. neoformans infects the respiratory tract and then breaches the blood–brain barrier (BBB), leading to meningitis or meningoencephalitis, which leads to hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. Although the mechanism by which C. neoformans infiltrates the BBB to invade the brain has yet to be fully understood, research has revealed that C. neoformans can cross the BBB using transcellular penetration,

Sgo1 maintains optimum levels of Aurora B kinase Ipl1 and protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) at kinetochores. The absence of Sgo1 results in the loss
