Disease relevance of Coccidioides

 

High impact information on Coccidioides

  • Induction of cellular immunity to Coccidioides immitis after sensitization with dinitrochlorobenzene [6].
  • Studies in multiple laboratories have shown that Ag2/PRA as both protein and genetic vaccines provides significant protection against mice challenged systemically with Coccidioides [7].
  • However, the presence in Csa1p of repeated cysteine-rich hydrophobic domains with significant sequence similarity to motifs found in surface proteins (Ag2 and Pth11) from two distantly related fungal pathogens (Coccidioides immitis and Magnaporthe grisea respectively) suggests a common function in host interaction [8].
  • The structure of an allosamidin complex with the Coccidioides immitis chitinase defines a role for a second acid residue in substrate-assisted mechanism [9].
  • Innate immunity to the pathogenic fungus Coccidioides posadasii is dependent on Toll-like receptor 2 and Dectin-1 [10].

Gene context of Coccidioides

  • Isolation and confirmation of function of the Coccidioides immitis URA5 (orotate phosphoribosyl transferase) gene [27].
  • Isolation and characterization of two chitinase-encoding genes (cts1, cts2) from the fungus Coccidioides immitis [28].
  • Roles of gamma interferon and interleukin-4 in genetically determined resistance to Coccidioides immitis [29].
  • The arginase (ARG)-encoding gene (arg) of Coccidioides immitis, a human fungal pathogen, was cloned and sequenced [30].
  • A heat shock protein-encoding gene (hsp60) from the human respiratory fungal pathogen, Coccidioides immitis (Ci), was cloned, sequenced, chromosome-mapped, expressed and immunolocalized in parasitic cells [31].
