分子生物学和基因组测序的快速发展为隐球菌研究提供了新技术和资源。通过利用修饰的 shRNA 质粒和聚合启动子 RNAi 构建体,RNAi 介导的特定基因敲除已成为常规且更加有效。该系统最近应用于高通量筛选,以鉴定参与宿主-病原体相互作用的基因。通过多种方法提高同源重组率也提高了基因删除效率,包括双联合 PCR 与分裂标记转化的组合、显性选择标记的使用以及将 Cre-Loxp 系统引入隐球菌。此外,使用与密码子优化荧光标签(例如绿色或红色荧光蛋白或 mCherry)的融合,隐球菌蛋白的可视化变得更加容易。利用最新的全基因组分析工具,通过微阵列分析、RNA测序和蛋白质组分析,在新的毒力相关信号通路中鉴定出了新的转录因子和调节蛋白。
Rapid advances in molecular biology and genome sequencing have enabled the generation of new technology and resources for cryptococcal research. RNAi-mediated specific gene knock down has become routine and more efficient by utilizing modified shRNA plasmids and convergent promoter RNAi constructs. This system was recently applied in a high-throughput screen to identify genes involved in host-pathogen interactions. Gene deletion efficiencies have also been improved by increasing rates of homologous recombination through a number of approaches, including a combination of double-joint PCR with split-marker transformation, the use of dominant selectable markers and the introduction of Cre-Loxp systems into Cryptococcus. Moreover, visualization of cryptococcal proteins has become more facile using fusions with codon-optimized fluorescent tags, such as green or red fluorescent proteins or, mCherry. Using recent genome-wide analytical tools, new transcriptional factors and regulatory proteins have been identified in novel virulence-related signaling pathways by employing microarray analysis, RNA-sequencing and proteomic analysis.
