Distinct STRIPAK subunits drive conserved and subunit-specific signaling programs in Cryptococcus neoformans

Patricia P Peterson, Sarah Croog, Yeseul Choi, Jin-Tae Choi, Yong‐Sun Bahn, Joseph Heitman

This study identifies distinct roles of STRIPAK subunits in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing that core subunits maintain genome stability and virulence while Mob3 promotes hypervirulence through enhanced host adaptation.

STRIPAK complex defects result in pseudosexual reproduction in Cryptococcus neoformans

Patricia P Peterson, Sarah Croog, Yeseul Choi, Sheng Sun, Joseph Heitman

This study shows that STRIPAK complex defects in Cryptococcus neoformans lead to pseudosexual reproduction, affecting genome stability and inheritance.

The Cryptococcus neoformans STRIPAK complex controls genome stability, sexual development, and virulence

Patricia P Peterson, Jin-Tae Choi, Ci Fu, Leah E. Cowen, Sheng Sun, Yong‐Sun Bahn, Joseph Heitman

This paper investigates the role of the STRIPAK complex in Cryptococcus neoformans, showing it regulates genome stability, sexual development, and virulence through functional characterization of its subunits.
