Top: Micrographs showing hyphal filaments extending from colony peripheries in a sexual cross between CBS8507 and CBS10435 after 2 weeks of incubation on CMA and V8 pH 5 media, in the dark, at room temperature. Insets depict two types of basidia: globose (a–c) and lageniform (b–d). Black arrows indicate clusters of cells emerging near basidia (either at the surface or embedded), scored as potential meiotic progeny (basidiospores). Bottom: Schematic representation of key chromosomal rearrangements and evolutionary events underlying transitions from tetrapolar to bipolar and pseudobipolar mating configurations. The phylogenetic tree highlights inferred changes in MAT locus structure, with color-coded branches representing both extant and reconstructed MAT configurations. Dashed lines indicate unresolved phylogenetic relationships among clades A, B, and C. Insets summarize distinct evolutionary stages, including: the ancestral organization with unlinked and compact P/R and HD loci (1); small-scale expansion of the P/R locus in Kwoniella (2); two independent large-scale expansions of the P/R locus in Cryptococcus (5); relocation of P/R and HD loci onto the same chromosome in Kwoniella resulting in either pseudobipolar (3) or fused (4) MAT configurations; and independent HD-P/R fusion events with HD gene loss in Cryptococcus pathogens and Cryptococcus sp. 3 (6). These transitions illustrate the diverse pathways by which chromosomal rearrangements (CRs) have shaped MAT locus architecture in these fungal lineages.

Schematic of TN-seq in C. neoformans. Top left: Transposon insertions (orange arrow) into nonessential genes results in viable cells. In contrast, insertions into essential genes will result in dead and nonrecoverable cells. Top right: TN-seq works by generating a library of cells where each cell has a single independent transposon insertion in a random location. As in A, those insertions into essential regions cause the cells to die and are nonrecoverable. As a result, the total library (bottom) is depleted in insertions in essential regions. Bottom: The Ac/Ds transposon was split into an Ac transposase and a Ds transposon containing a neomycin resistance marker. This Ds transposon was integrated into an intron of URA5 and the Ac transposase was integrated into the safe haven locus. The resulting stain is ura− and neomycin resistant. Upon initiating transposition via growth on galactose, the strain becomes URA+ and mutant at another locus (depicted here as YFG1).
#Fungal infections are hard to treat due to #DrugResistance. @blakebillmyre.bsky.social &co use a high-throughput #TNseq system in #Cryptococcus neoformans to identify >1400 essential genes & reveal a role for #mitochondrial genes in #fluconazole sensitivity @plosbiology.org 🧪 plos.io/4dz3iVm
