Expression Patterns in Reductive Iron Assimilation and Functional Consequences during Phagocytosis of <i>Lichtheimia corymbifera</i>, an Emerging Cause of Mucormycosis

Expression Patterns in Reductive Iron Assimilation and Functional Consequences during Phagocytosis of <i>Lichtheimia corymbifera</i>, an Emerging Cause of Mucormycosis

Iron is an essential micronutrient for most organisms and fungi are no exception. Iron uptake by fungi is facilitated by receptor-mediated internalization of siderophores, heme and reductive iron assimilation (RIA). The RIA employs three protein groups: (i) the ferric reductases (Fre5 proteins), (ii...
