Characterization of an extracellular subtilisin protease of Rhizopus microsporus and evidence for its expression during invasive rhinoorbital mycosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

An endoprotease Arp (alkaline Rhizopus protease) was identified and purified to virtual homogeneity from the culture supernatant of an isolate of Rhizopus microsporus var. rhizopodiformis recovered from a non-fatal case of rhinoorbital mucormycosis. N-terminal sequencing of the mature native enzyme

Pathogenicity patterns of mucormycosis: epidemiology, interaction with immune cells and virulence factors.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fungi of the basal lineage order Mucorales are able to cause infections in animals and humans. Mucormycosis is a well-known, life-threatening disease especially in patients with a compromised immune system. The rate of mortality and morbidity caused by mucormycosis has increased rapidly during the

Purification and characterization of a cytochrome c with novel caspase-3 activation activity from the pathogenic fungus Rhizopus arrhizus.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Members of Rhizopus species are the most common cause of mucormycosis, a rare but often fatal fungal infection. Host induced pathogen apoptosis and pathogen induced host cell apoptosis are often involved in fungal infections. In many organisms, the release of mitochondrial cytochrome c

Extracellular proteolysis by Mucoraceae in serum-albumin agar tested by the agar block method.

In a preliminary study, three strains of Absidia corymbifera (two strains from autopsy material of the lungs and one from the soil of a potted indoor plant in a hospital) and one strain of Rhizopus oryzae (from the soil of a potted plant in a hospital) were tested for secretory proteolytic activity

Apophysomyces variabilis: draft genome sequence and comparison of predictive virulence determinants with other medically important Mucorales.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Apophysomyces species are prevalent in tropical countries and A. variabilis is the second most frequent agent causing mucormycosis in India. Among Apophysomyces species, A. elegans, A. trapeziformis and A. variabilis are commonly incriminated in human infections. The genome sequences of

A unique biofilm in human deep mycoses: fungal amyloid is bound by host serum amyloid P component.

Only registered users can translate articles

OBJECTIVE We have demonstrated the presence of Candida cell surface amyloids that are important in aggregation of fungi and adherence to tissue. Fungal amyloid was present in invasive human candidal infections and host serum amyloid P component (SAP) bound to the fungal amyloid. SAP is a

Gene expansion shapes genome architecture in the human pathogen Lichtheimia corymbifera: an evolutionary genomics analysis in the ancient terrestrial mucorales (Mucoromycotina).

Only registered users can translate articles

Lichtheimia species are the second most important cause of mucormycosis in Europe. To provide broader insights into the molecular basis of the pathogenicity-associated traits of the basal Mucorales, we report the full genome sequence of L. corymbifera and compared it to the genome of Rhizopus

Genomic analysis of the basal lineage fungus Rhizopus oryzae reveals a whole-genome duplication.

Only registered users can translate articles

Rhizopus oryzae is the primary cause of mucormycosis, an emerging, life-threatening infection characterized by rapid angioinvasive growth with an overall mortality rate that exceeds 50%. As a representative of the paraphyletic basal group of the fungal kingdom called "zygomycetes," R. oryzae is also
