Gene Arrays at Pneumocystis carinii Telomeres

Keely, Scott P., Renauld, Hubert, Wakefield, Ann E., Cushion, Melanie T., Smulian, A. George, Fosker, Nigel, ...

In the fungus Pneumocystis carinii, at least three gene families (PRT1, MSR, and MSG) have the potential to generate high-frequency antigenic variation, which is likely to be a strategy by which this...

Transcriptome of Pneumocystis carinii during Fulminate Infection: Carbohydrate Metabolism and the Concept of a Compatible Parasite

Cushion, Melanie T., Smulian, A. George, Slaven, Bradley E., Sesterhenn, Tom, Arnold, Jonathan, Staben, Chuck, ...

Members of the genus Pneumocystis are fungal pathogens that cause pneumonia in a wide variety of mammals with debilitated immune systems. Little is known about their basic biological functions,...

The MAT1 Locus of Histoplasma capsulatum Is Responsive in a Mating Type-Specific Mannerâ–¿

Bubnick, Meggan, Smulian, A. George

Recombination events associated with sexual replication in pathogens may generate new strains with altered virulence. Histoplasma capsulatum is a mating-competent, pathogenic fungus with two...

Expression of Hygromycin Phosphotransferase Alters Virulence of Histoplasma capsulatumâ–¿

Smulian, A. George, Gibbons, Reta S., Demland, Jeffery A., Spaulding, Deborah T., Deepe, George S.

The Escherichia coli hygromycin phosphotransferase (hph) gene, which confers hygromycin resistance, is commonly used as a dominant selectable marker in genetically modified bacteria, fungi, plants,...
