Candida glabrata is a yeast pathogen of humans. We have established a tissue culture model to analyze the interaction of C. glabrata with macrophages. Transcript profiling of yeast ingested by macrophages reveals global changes in metabolism as well as increased expression of a gene family (YPS genes) encoding extracellular glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl proteases. Eight of these YPS genes are found in a cluster that is unique to C. glabrata. Genetic analysis shows that the C. glabrata YPS genes are required for cell wall integrity, adherence to mammalian cells, survival in macrophages and virulence. By monitoring the processing of a cell wall adhesin, Epa1, we also show that Yps proteases play an important role in cell wall re-modeling by removal and release of glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell wall proteins.

В настоящее время этиологическое лечение корона вирусной инфекции COVID-19 SARS CoV-2 не выявлено. Было исследовано влияние различных групп противовирусных препаратов на коронавирус. В ряде стран активно применялся лекарственный препарат Алувиа против коронавируса (комбинированный лопинавир и ритонавир). В данной научной работе представлены результаты применения высоко активных антиретро вирусных препаратов при коронавирусной инфекции.Лопинавир - ингибитор протеаз ВИЧ-1 и ВИЧ-2 - предотвращает расщепление gagpol-полипротеина, приводя к продукции незрелого неинфекционного вируса. Ритонавир - пептидомиметический ингибитор ВИЧ-1 и ВИЧ-2 аспартил протеаз. Торможение ВИЧ-протеазы делает этот фермент неспособным к обработке предшественника gag pol полипротеина, что приводит к образованию морфологически незрелых ВИЧ частиц, не способных к инициированию новых циклов инфицирования. [1] Currently, no etiological treatment of COVID-19 SARS CoV-2 coronavirus infection has been identified. The influence of various antiviral drug groups on the coronavirus was studied. One of them is the drug lopinavir \\ritonavir. This scientific paper presents an analysis of the experience of using highly active antiretroviral drugs in coronavirus infection. Lopinaviran inhibitor of HIV-1 and HIV - 2 proteases prevents the cleavage of gagpolpolyprotein, leading to the production of an immature noninfectious virus.Ritonavir is a peptidomimetic inhibitor of HIV-1 and HIV-2 aspartyl proteases. Inhibition of HIV protease makes this enzyme unable to process the gag pol precursor polyprotein, which leads to the formation of morphologically immature HIV particles that are not able to initiate new infection cycles.
