An active retrotransposon in Candida albicans.
Tca2 is a Ty1/copia-type retrotransposon from the pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. It was originally identified as an abundant, linear, extrachromosomal, double-stranded DNA molecule. Here we show that Tca2 is widespread in C.albicans, but that the abundance of extrachromosomal Tca2 DNA varies greatly among different strains and is strongly dependent on the growth temperature. The relative le...
متن کاملA temperature-regulated, retrotransposon-like element from Candida albicans.
A repetitive element was isolated from the genome of Candida albicans. This repetitive element, which we designated alpha, was localized to a 500-bp fragment of genomic DNA. The alpha element was dispersed in the genome and varied in copy number and genomic location in the strains examined. Analyses of various loci containing the alpha element identified a locus containing a composite element. ...

PURPOSE When investigating a case of unexplained corneal ulceration, we need to think of fungal infection and any predisposing factors. METHODS A case study of a corneal ulceration in a patient who was HIV positive with a devastating visual outcome. RESULTS Therapeutic corneal graft was necessary due to corneal perforation. Immunocompromised state of patient was retrospectively diagnosed. ...

The secreted aspartyl proteinases of Candida albicans (products of the SAP genes) are thought to contribute to virulence through their effects on Candida adherence, invasion, and pathogenicity. From a single strain of C. albicans (WO-1) which expresses a phenotypic switching system, three secreted aspartyl proteinases have been identified as determined by molecular weight and N-terminal sequenc...

Figure 1. Fluorescent protein fusions in Candida albicans. Useful fluorescent markers for tracking subcellular structures in C. albicans include: DAPI (DNA); Nop1-GFP (green fluorescent protein, localizing to the nucleolus); Hhf1-GFP (chromatin); Tub2-GFP (microtubules, green); and Tub4-mCherry fluorescent protein (spindle pole bodies, red).
