The human fungal pathogenCryptococcus neoformansrelies on a complex signaling network for the adaptation and survival at the host temperature. Protein phosphatase calcineurin is central to proliferation at 37°C but its exact contributions remain ill-defined. To better define genetic contributions to theC. neoformanstemperature tolerance, 4031 gene knockouts were screened for genes essential at 37°C and under conditions that keep calcineurin inactive. Identified 83 candidate strains, potentially sensitive to 37°C, were subsequently subject to technologically simple yet robust assay, in which cells are exposed to a temperature gradient. This has resulted in identification of 46 genes contributing to the maximum temperature at whichC. neoformanscan proliferate (Tmax). The 46 mutants, characterized by a range of Tmaxon drug-free media, were further assessed for Tmaxunder conditions that inhibit calcineurin, which led to identification of several previously uncharacterized knockouts exhibiting synthetic interaction with the inhibition of calcineurin. A mutant that lacked septin Cdc11 was among those with the lowest Tmaxand failed to proliferate in the absence of calcineurin activity. To further define connections with calcineurin and the role for septins in high temperature growth, the 46 mutants were tested for cell morphology at 37°C and growth in the presence of agents disrupting cell wall and cell membrane. Mutants sensitive to calcineurin inhibition were tested for synthetic lethal interaction with deletion of the septin-encodingCDC12and the localization of the septin Cdc3-mCherry. The analysis described here pointed to previously uncharacterized genes that were missed in standard growth assays indicating that the temperature gradient assay is a valuable complementary tool for elucidating the genetic basis of temperature range at which microorganisms proliferate.
