Ionizing radiation and chemical oxidant exposure impacts on Cryptococcus neoformans transfer RNAs.

Ionizing radiation and chemical oxidant exposure impacts on Cryptococcus neoformans transfer RNAs.

Cryptococcus neoformans is a fungus that is able to survive abnormally high levels of ionizing radiation (IR). The radiolysis of water by IR generates reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as H2O2 and OH-. C. neoformans withstands the damage caused by IR and ROS through antioxidant production and enzym...
