We studied a Cryptococcus neoformans strain that caused feline chronic nasal granuloma without disseminated disease. This strain, B-4551, grows at temperatures up to 35 degrees C and fails to cause systemic infection in mice. Many cells of B-4551 formed short hyphal elements in feline nasal tissue and occasionally at 35 degrees C in vitro. A complementation and sequence analysis revealed that the temperature-sensitive (Ts) phenotype of B-4551 was due to deletion of a lysine residue in the cryptococcal CCN1 gene. B-4551 complemented with the wild type CCN1 gene grew at 37 degrees C and caused fatal systemic infection in mice. The CCN1 gene encodes a protein containing 16 copies of a tetratricopeptide repeat. CCN1 is homologous to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae CLF1 gene, which is required for pre-mRNA splicing, cell cycle progression, and DNA replication, and to the Drosophila melanogaster crn gene, which is involved in neurogenesis. CLF1 complemented the Ts phenotype of B-4551. CCN1, however, failed to rescue the clf1 mutant in S. cerevisiae. These results indicate that the Ccn1p may not be as functionally diverse as Clf1p in yeast.
