HighlightsCalprotectin is a key protein that deprives extracellular fungi of zinc.Two other S100A molecules sequester zinc from fungi.Upregulation of metallothioneins by GM-CSF deprives H. capsulatum of zinc in the phagosome.All studied human pathogenic fungi have zinc transporters that capture this metal from the environment and contribute to pathogenicity.Many fungi possess a zincophore that is instrumental in zinc scavenging in neutral/alkaline environments.In this review, we summarize data regarding the influence of zinc on host defenses to human pathogenic fungi and how the fungus acquires zinc to sustain biological functions. Mammals have evolved several extracellular and intracellular mechanisms to withhold zinc from the fungus. Specific immune cells release zinc binding proteins such as calprotectin to capture the metal and deny it to the fungus. Intracellularly, several zinc binding proteins such as metallothioneins starve the fungus of zinc. The net result in both situations is depriving the fungus of a crucial micronutrient. To combat this struggle, fungi have developed means to capture zinc and store it. The mechanisms of transport for various fungi are discussed herein.
