FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Chemically Induced Cell Wall Stapling in Bacteria
, 2021 Transpeptidation reinforces the structure of cell-wall peptidoglycan, an extracellular heteropolymer that protects bacteria from osmotic lysis. The clinical success of transpeptidase-inhibiting beta-lactam antibiotics illustrates the essentiality of ...

Endopeptidase-mediated beta lactam tolerance. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2015 In many bacteria, inhibition of cell wall synthesis leads to cell death and lysis. The pathways and enzymes that mediate cell lysis after exposure to cell wall-acting antibiotics (e.g.

Ionomycin suppresses cancer cell growth by disrupting mitochondrial transcription
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.In this study, we identify a new function for the selective Ca2+ ionophore, ionomycin, as an inhibitor of mitochondrial transcription. Both total and nascent RNA analyses revealed that ionomycin treatment reduces the transcription of mitochondrial genes.

Staphylococcus aureus: salt stress, cell wall deficiency, and Biofílm formation [PDF]
, 2008 Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is a major cause of chronic infection and is of particular concern in the infection of implanted prostheses. Biofilm formation offers bacteria innate protection from antimicrobial agents and prevents the eradication of ...

Impact of Fungal MAPK Pathway Targets on the Cell Wall
Journal of Fungi, 2018 The fungal cell wall is an extracellular organelle that provides structure and protection to cells. The cell wall also influences the interactions of cells with each other and surfaces.

Bacterial cell wall composition and the influence of antibiotics by cell-wall and whole-cell NMR [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2015 The ability to characterize bacterial cell-wall composition and structure is crucial to understanding the function of the bacterial cell wall, determining drug modes of action and developing new-generation therapeutics. Solid-state NMR has emerged as a powerful tool to quantify chemical composition and to map cell-wall architecture
