Ribosomal Protein L40e Fused With a Ubiquitin Moiety Is Essential for the Vegetative Growth, Morphological Homeostasis, Cell Cycle Progression, and Pathogenicity of Cryptococcus ne... by Jingyu Zhao, Jingyu Zhao, Yali Yang, Yali Yang, Yibin Fan, Jiu Yi, Chao Zhang, Zhongkai Gu, Weihua Pan, Julin Gu, Wanqing Liao, Wei Fang

“…Mouse survival and fungal burden assays further revealed a severely attenuated pathogenicity for the ubi1Δ mutant, which is probably associated with its reduced stress tolerance and the induction of T-helper 1-type immune response. Taken together, Ubi1 is required for maintaining the vegetative growth, morphological homeostasis, cell cycle progression, and pathogenicity in vivo of C. neoformans. …”
