Beyond Melanin: Proteomics Reveals Virulence-Related Proteins in <i>Paracoccidioides</i> <i>brasiliensis</i> and <i>Paracoccidioides</i> <i>lutzii</i> Yeast Cells Grown in the Presence of <i>L</i>-Dihydroxyphenylalanine

Species of the genus <i>Paracoccidioides</i> cause a systemic infection in human patients. Yeast cells of <i>Paracoccidioides</i> spp. produce melanin in the presence of L-dihydroxyphenylalanine and during infection, which may impact the pathogen’s survival in the host. To be...
