Transcriptome overview of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis proteases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Proteases perform a wide variety of functions inside and outside cells, regulating many biological processes. Infectious microorganisms use proteases, either secreted or attached to their cell surface to weaken and invade their hosts. Therefore, proteases are targets for drugs against a diverse set

Evaluation of in situ expression of effector and regulatory cytokines, TLR, galectins and matrix metalloproteinases in oral manifestations of paracoccidioidomycosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Although the pathophysiology of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is not completely understood, the study of immune response against fungus has provided insight into understanding the natural course of the disease and its clinical manifestations, hence contributing to the development of

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis induces secretion of IL-6 and IL-8 by lung epithelial cells. Modulation of host cytokine levels by fungal proteases.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a pathogenic, dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis, a systemic human mycosis that is highly prevalent in Latin America. In this study, we demonstrated that P. brasiliensis yeasts induced interleukin (IL)-8 and IL-6 secretion by human lung epithelial

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis induces cytokine secretion in epithelial cells in a protease-activated receptor-dependent (PAR) manner.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is one of the etiological agents of the human systemic mycosis paracoccidioidomycosis. Protease-activated receptors (PARs) are expressed in many cell types and comprise a family of G protein-coupled receptors (PAR-1, PAR-2, and PAR-4), which may be activated by

Secreted aspartyl proteinase (PbSap) contributes to the virulence of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis infection.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM) is the most prevalent deep mycosis in Latin America and is caused by fungi from the Paracoccidioides genus. Virulence factors are important fungal characteristics that support the development of disease. Aspartyl proteases (Saps) are virulence factors in many human

Parengyodontium album Isolated from Cutaneous Lesions of a Pacific White-Sided Dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) During Treatment for Paracoccidioidomycosis Ceti

The prominence of seafood in Japan motivates close monitoring of its seas and marine lives for potentially pathogenic fungi. During the treatments of the male Pacific white-sided dolphin (Lagenorhynchus obliquidens) for paracoccidioidomycosis ceti (PCM-C), 5 white and floccose colonies showing

A secreted serine protease of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and its interactions with fungal proteins.

Only registered users can translate articles

BACKGROUND Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermodimorphic fungus, the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM). Serine proteases are widely distributed and this class of peptidase has been related to pathogenesis and nitrogen starvation in pathogenic fungi. RESULTS A cDNA (Pbsp) encoding

Characterization of a secreted aspartyl protease of the fungal pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a thermally dimorphic fungus that causes paracoccidioidomycosis, a human systemic disease prevalent in Latin America. Proteases have been described as playing an important role in the host invasion process in many pathogenic microorganisms. Here we describe the

Comparative genomic analysis of human fungal pathogens causing paracoccidioidomycosis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioides is a fungal pathogen and the cause of paracoccidioidomycosis, a health-threatening human systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. Infection by Paracoccidioides, a dimorphic fungus in the order Onygenales, is coupled with a thermally regulated transition from a soil-dwelling

Identification of a metallopeptidase with TOP-like activity in Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, with increased expression in a virulent strain.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioidomycosis (PCM), caused by the pathogenic fungus Paracoccidioides brasiliensis, is a systemic mycosis with severe acute and chronic forms. The pathology of PCM is not completely understood, and the role of proteases in the infection is not clearly defined. In this report, we describe a

Overview and perspectives the transcriptome of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis is a dimorphic and thermo-regulated fungus which is the causative agent of paracoccidioidomycosis, an endemic disease widespread in Latin America that affects 10 million individuals. Pathogenicity is assumed to be a consequence of the dimorphic transition from mycelium

The Dynamic Genome and Transcriptome of the Human Fungal Pathogen Blastomyces and Close Relative Emmonsia.

Only registered users can translate articles

Three closely related thermally dimorphic pathogens are causal agents of major fungal diseases affecting humans in the Americas: blastomycosis, histoplasmosis and paracoccidioidomycosis. Here we report the genome sequence and analysis of four strains of the etiological agent of blastomycosis,

Proteomic Analysis of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis During Infection of Alveolar Macrophages Primed or Not by Interferon-Gamma.

Only registered users can translate articles

Although members of the Paracoccidioides complex are not obligate intracellular pathogens, they present the ability to survive and multiply inside epithelial cells and phagocytes of mammals, which may favor the spread of the fungus in host tissues. Macrophages resident in the lung are the

The 43-kDa glycoprotein from the human pathogen Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and its deglycosylated form: excretion and susceptibility to proteolysis.

Only registered users can translate articles

Biochemical properties of the concanavalin A-binding 43-kDa glycoprotein (gp43) of Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and its deglycosylated form were compared. Deglycosylation was achieved by treatment with trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, endoglycosidase H, N-glycanase, or metabolically, by growing cells

Genome Diversity, Recombination, and Virulence across the Major Lineages of Paracoccidioides.

Only registered users can translate articles

The Paracoccidioides genus includes two species of thermally dimorphic fungi that cause paracoccidioidomycosis, a neglected health-threatening human systemic mycosis endemic to Latin America. To examine the genome evolution and the diversity of Paracoccidioides spp., we conducted whole-genome
