CTG clade-specific proteins of the RSC chromatin remodeling complex regulate cell cycle progression of a critical priority fungal pathogen, Candida albicans

Listed in NCBI GEO

The RSC (Remodels the Structure of Chromatin) and the homologous chromatin remodeling complexes are known to regulate cell cycle progression in various organisms, including Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Drosophila, and Homo sapiens.

Description

In this work, we characterized the role of two novel CTG clade-specific proteins (Nri1 and Nri2) of the RSC complex in the regulation of cell cycle progression in a critical priority fungal pathogen, Candida albicans.

We observed that Nri1, alone or along with Nri2, regulates cell cycle progression at multiple stages. The nri1Δ/Δ and nri1Δ/Δ nri2Δ/Δ mutants exhibited transient cell cycle arrest, defective spindle morphology, and cytokinesis. Transcriptomic analysis supported these mutant phenotypes and indicated a broad role of Nri proteins in the cell cycle.

From our results, we conclude that Nri proteins are crucial for C. albicans proliferation and fitness.
