Siderophores are small molecular weight iron scavengers that are mainly produced by
bacteria, fungi, and plants. Recently, they have attracted increasing attention because of …

Covering: up to 2019 Siderophores are natural products which have attracted interest due to
their ability to bind metal ions with high affinities. This review considers the complex …

Although metals are essential for the molecular machineries of life, systematic methods for
discovering metal–small molecule complexes from biological samples are limited. Here, we …

In recent decades, invasive fungal infections have been increasing significantly, contributing
to high incidences and mortality in immunosuppressed patients. Candida albicans (C …

Proteolytic degradation of semenogelins, the most abundant proteins from human semen,
results in the formation of 26-and 29-amino acid peptides (SgIIA and SgI-29, respectively) …

Pathogens often face zinc restriction due to the action of nutritional immunity–host processes
which restrict microbial access to key micronutrients such as zinc and iron. Candida albicans …

Zinc is an essential nutrient for all organisms because this metal serves as a critical
structural or catalytic cofactor for many proteins. These zinc-dependent proteins are …

Candida is a dominant fungal pathogen in immunocompromised hosts, leading to
opportunistic infections. Complement with its multifaceted functions is involved in the …

Pathogenic microorganisms often face acute micronutrient limitation during infection due to
the action of host-mediated nutritional immunity. The human fungal pathogen Candida …

Background Candida albicans is a fungal pathogen causing human infections. Here we
investigated differential gene expression patterns and functional enrichment in C. albicans …
