Candida albicans secreted aspartyl proteinases in virulence and pathogenesis.
Candida albicans is the most common fungal pathogen of humans and has developed an extensive repertoire of putative virulence mechanisms that allows successful colonization and infection of the host under suitable predisposing conditions. Extracellular proteolytic activity plays a central role in Candida pathogenicity and is produced by a family of 10 secreted aspartyl proteinases (Sap proteins...
متن کاملCandida albicans
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...

متن کاملThe 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 کاملPossible role of secreted proteinases in Candida albicans infections.
Extracellular proteolytic activity of the human pathogen Candida albicans is due to the activity of at least nine secreted aspartyl proteinase (Sap) isoenzymes. SAP1-9 genes are differentially regulated both in vitro and in vivo at the transcriptional level. All SAP genes are translated into preproenzymes, which are processed by a signal peptidase and a Kex2-like proteinase. In vitro experiment...
