A unique aspartyl protease gene expansion in Talaromyces marneffei plays a role in growth inside host phagocytes

Aspartyl proteases are a widely represented class of proteolytic enzymes found in eukaryotes and retroviruses. They have been associated with pathogenicity in a range of disease-causing microorganisms. The dimorphic human-pathogenic fungus Talaromyces marneffei has a large expansion of these proteas...
