Importance of a Developmentally Regulated Pheromone Receptor of Cryptococcus neoformans for Virulence

Cryptococcus neoformans is the etiologic agent of cryptococcosis. Two mating types exist in this fungus, MATα and MATa. The CPRa gene of C. neoformans is a MATa strain-specific gene and encodes a putative seven-transmembrane domain pheromone receptor. Unlike the other reported fungal pheromone recep...
