To assess the function of Ngg1 in Candida albicans and reveal the role of NGG1 in the morphological conversion and virulence of C. albicans. C. albicans NGG1 gene was deleted in the wild-type strain SC5314 and the function of Ngg1 was assessed by western blot analysis. The phenotypes and the virulence of the ngg1 mutants were examined. Microarray analysis was performed to explore the mechanism. The ngg1 mutants attenuated acetylated histone H3, obviously reduced filamentous growth and showed significantly diminished pathogenicity in all the infection models. This study suggested the histone acetyltransferase activity of C. albicans Ngg1 and revealed the important role of NGG1 in morphological conversion and virulence of C. albicans. [Formula: see text].

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D014774 Virulence The degree of pathogenicity within a group or species of microorganisms or viruses as indicated by case fatality rates and/or the ability of the organism to invade the tissues of the host. The pathogenic capacity of an organism is determined by its VIRULENCE FACTORS. Pathogenicity

D016019 Survival Analysis A class of statistical procedures for estimating the survival function (function of time, starting with a population 100% well at a given time and providing the percentage of the population still well at later times). The survival analysis is then used for making inferences about the effects of treatments, prognostic factors, exposures, and other covariates on the function.

D017353 Gene Deletion A genetic rearrangement through loss of segments of DNA or RNA, bringing sequences which are normally separated into close proximity. This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus. Deletion, Gene,Deletions, Gene,Gene Deletions
