KRE5 Suppression Induces Cell Wall Stress and Alternative ER Stress Response Required for Maintaining Cell Wall Integrity in Candida glabrata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 The maintenance of cell wall integrity in fungi is required for normal cell growth, division, hyphae formation, and antifungal tolerance. We observed that endoplasmic reticulum stress regulated cell wall integrity in Candida glabrata, which possesses ...

Cell wall integrity signalling and innate immunity in plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 All plant pathogens and parasites have had to develop strategies to overcome cell walls in order to access the host’s cytoplasm. As a mechanically strong, multi-layered composite exoskeleton, the cell wall not only enables plants to grow tall but also ...

Cinnamaldehyde Exerts Its Antifungal Activity by Disrupting the Cell Wall Integrity of Geotrichum citri-aurantii [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 Our previous study showed that cinnamaldehyde (CA) significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of Geotrichum citri-aurantii, one of the main postharvest pathogens in citrus fruits. This study investigated the antifungal mechanism of CA against G.

The novel antifungal agent NPD2560 perturbs the Rho1-centered signaling network to induce a cell wall integrity response [PDF]
Microbiology SpectrumFungal pathogens pose an increasing threat to human health. The limited diversity of antifungal drug classes and the rapid emergence of resistance highlight the urgent need for the identification and development of agents with novel mechanisms of action.

Plant cell wall integrity maintenance as an essential component of biotic stress response mechanisms [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Plant cell walls provide structural support during development and represent the first line of defense against biotic and abiotic stress. In recent years evidence has accumulated that a dedicated plant cell wall integrity maintenance mechanism exists ...
