The inhibition of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase by triangular gold nanoparticles
Objective(s): The aim of this study was to synthesize triangular gold nanoparticles, and then to evaluate their capability for inhibition of Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase 2(Sap2).Materials and Methods: To synthesize the nanoparticles, hydrogen tetrachloroaurate and hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide were incubated in presence of Sn(IV) meso-tetra(N-methyl-4-pyridyl) porphine t...
متن کاملSecreted proteins of Candida albicans.
The predicted secretome of the opportunistic fungal pathogen Candida albicans contains more than 200 ORFs of diverse and often unknown function. Majority of the secreted proteins that have been experimentally evaluated to date are hydrolytic enzymes (proteinases, phospholipases and lipases). Acting on the interface between the pathogen and the host, the secreted hydrolases may enable invasion o...
متن کاملInhibition of growth and secreted aspartyl proteinase production in Candida albicans by lysozyme.
Lysozyme (muramidase) is a non-specific, antimicrobial protein ubiquitous in human mucosal secretions such as saliva. Although its antibacterial and antifungal activities are well recognised, there are no data on the specific concentrations necessary to affect the growth of Candida albicans or about the effect of lysozyme on the production of secreted aspartyl proteinase (Sap), a putative virul...
متن کاملSecreted aspartic proteinase family of Candida tropicalis.
Medically important yeasts of the genus Candida secrete aspartic proteinases (Saps), which are of particular interest as virulence factors. Like Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis secretes in vitro one dominant Sap (Sapt1p) in a medium containing bovine serum albumin (BSA) as the sole source of nitrogen. Using the gene SAPT1 as a probe and under low-stringency hybridization conditions, three ...
متن کاملQuantitative expression of the Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinase gene family in human oral and vaginal candidiasis.
A quantitative real-time RT-PCR system was established to identify which secreted aspartyl proteinase (SAP) genes are most highly expressed and potentially contribute to Candida albicans infection of human epithelium in vitro and in vivo. C. albicans SC5314 SAP1-10 gene expression was monitored in organotypic reconstituted human epithelium (RHE) models, monolayers of oral epithelial cells, and ...
