The extent of conservation of the SREBP pathway in\n            <jats:italic>C. neoformans<\/jats:italic>\n            or in any other fungi, however, has not been investigated. We generated mutants susceptible to low oxygen and identified six genes that play a role in the SREBP pathway. Three of these genes (\n            <jats:italic>SFB2<\/jats:italic>\n            ,\n            <jats:italic>KAP123<\/jats:italic>\n            , and\n            <jats:italic>GSK3<\/jats:italic>\n            ) are not known to be involved in the SREBP pathway in other fungi. Furthermore, we show that\n            <jats:italic>C. neoformans<\/jats:italic>\n            contains an additional gene,\n            <jats:italic>DAM1<\/jats:italic>\n            , which functions in the SREBP pathway but is yet to be described. Mutants associated with the steps prior to formation of the nuclear Sre1 form dramatically reduced accumulation of the nuclear form under low-oxygen conditions. Concurrently, two mutant strains,\n            <jats:italic>scp1\u0394<\/jats:italic>\n            and\n            <jats:italic>stp1\u0394<\/jats:italic>\n            , and the previously isolated\n            <jats:italic>sre1\u0394<\/jats:italic>\n            strain showed reduction in ergosterol levels, hypersensitivity to several chemical agents, including azole antifungals, CoCl\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            , and compounds producing reactive oxygen or nitrogen species, and most importantly, reduced virulence in mice. Mutants affecting genes involved in later steps of the Sre1 pathway, such as those required for import and phosphorylation of proteins in the nucleus, showed less compelling phenotypes. These findings suggest that the SREBP pathway is highly conserved in\n            <jats:italic>C. neoformans<\/jats:italic>\n            and it serves as an important link between sterol biosynthesis, oxygen sensing, CoCl\n            <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n            sensitivity, and virulence in\n            <jats:italic>C. neoformans<\/jats:italic>\n            .\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/ec.00207-09","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,9,12]],"date-time":"2009-09-12T02:05:42Z","timestamp":1252721142000},"page":"1770-1779","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":57,"title":["Conservation of the Sterol Regulatory Element-Binding Protein Pathway and Its Pathobiological Importance in\n            <i>Cryptococcus neoformans<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Yun C.","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Susham S.","family":"Ingavale","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Clara","family":"Bien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Espenshade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Cell Biology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland 21205"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyung J.","family":"Kwon-Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Maryland 20892"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"235","reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.272.33.20313"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cmet.2008.09.004"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2958.2007.05676.x"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.061031998"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.ppat.0030022"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1074\/jbc.M708597200"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.genet.41.110306.130315"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.182412799"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.emboj.7600855"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1042\/bj3590001"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1379\/1466-1268(1997)002<0191:DADOCP>2.3.CO;2"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2005.12.022"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.gde.2006.12.006"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/mehy.1999.0960"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.1534923100"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cell.2005.01.012"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","first-page":"1491","volume":"27","year":"2008","unstructured":"Hughes, B.
