    Abstract Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are highly expressed and can modulate multiple cellular processes including transcription, splicing, translation, and many diverse signaling events. LncRNAs can act as sponges for miRNAs, RNA and DNA binding proteins, functioning as competitive endogenous RNAs. The contribution of lncRNAs to microbial pathogenesis is largely neglected in eukaryotic pathogens despite the abundance of RNA sequencing datasets encompassing conditions of stress, gene deletions and conditions that mimic the host environment. The human fungal pathogen

    Abstract In response to the host environment, the human pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans must rapidly reprogram its translatome from one which promotes growth to one which is responsive to host stress. In this study, we investigate the two events which comprise translatome reprogramming: the removal of abundant, pro-growth mRNAs from the translating pool, and the regulated entry of stress-responsive mRNAs into the translating pool. Removal of pro-growth mRNAs from the translating pool is controlled primarily by two regulatory mechanisms, repression of translation initiation via Gcn2, and decay mediated by Ccr4. We determined that translatome reprogramming in response to oxidative stress requires both Gcn2 and Ccr4, whereas the response to temperature requires only Ccr4. Additionally, we assessed ribosome collision in response to host-relevant stress and found that collided ribosomes accumulated during temperature stress but not during oxidative stress. The phosphorylation of eIF2α that occurred as a result of translational stress led us to investigate the induction of the integrated stress response (ISR). We found that eIF2α phosphorylation varied in response to the type and magnitude of stress, yet all tested conditions induced translation of the ISR transcription factor Gcn4. However, Gcn4 translation did not necessarily result in canonical Gcn4-dependent transcription. Finally, we define the ISR regulon in response to oxidative stress. In conclusion, this study begins to reveal the translational regulation in response to host-relevant stressors in an environmental fungus which is capable of adapting to the environment inside the human host.

    Abstract The cell walls of fungi are critical for cellular structure and rigidity but also serve as a major communicator to alert the cell to the changing environment. In response to stresses encountered in human hosts, pathogenic fungi remodel their cell walls. Masking the β-1,3-glucan component of the cell wall is critical to escape detection by innate immune cells. We previously demonstrated that β-1,3-glucan is unmasked in response to host temperature stress when translatome reprogramming is defective in

    Abstract As free living organisms, fungi are challenged with a variety of environmental insults that threaten their cellular processes. In some cases, these challenges mimic conditions present within mammals, resulting in the accidental selection of virulence factors over evolutionary time. Be it within a host or the soil, fungi must contend with environmental challenges through the production of stress effector proteins while maintaining factors required for viability in any condition. Initiation and upkeep of this balancing act is mainly under the control of kinases that affect the propensity and selectivity of protein translation. This review will focus on kinases in pathogenic fungi that facilitate a virulence phenotype through translational control.

    Abstract The basidiomycete fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans requires the PUF protein, Pum1, for hyphal morphogenesis during sexual development. In this study we found that Pum1 was auto-repressive under growth as yeast, but that auto-repression was relieved during filamentous growth through utilization of an alternative transcription start site driven by the master filamentation regulator Znf2. In addition, Pum1 was required to stabilize the ZNF2 mRNA through an indirect mechanism suggesting that Znf2 and Pum1 each positively regulate the expression of the other to achieve the filamentous morphotype required for sexual development in Cryptococcus.
