The CWI Pathway: Regulation of the Transcriptional Adaptive Response to Cell Wall Stress in Yeast
Journal of Fungi, 2017 Fungi are surrounded by an essential structure, the cell wall, which not only confers cell shape but also protects cells from environmental stress.

Fungal Cell Wall-Associated Effectors: Sensing, Integration, Suppression, and Protection
Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions®The cell wall (CW) of plant-interacting fungi, as the direct interface with host plants, plays a crucial role in fungal development. A number of secreted proteins are directly associated with the fungal CW, either through covalent or non-covalent interactions, and serve a range of important functions.

Salt stress causes cell wall damage in yeast cells lacking mitochondrial DNA
Microbial Cell, 2015 The yeast cell wall plays an important role in maintaining cell morphology, cell integrity and response to environmental stresses. Here, we report that salt stress causes cell wall damage in yeast cells lacking mitochondrial DNA (ρ0). Upon salt treatment,

Cell wall integrity signalling in human pathogenic fungi.
Cellular microbiology, 2017 Fungi are surrounded by a rigid structure, the fungal cell wall. Its plasticity and composition depend on active regulation of the underlying biosynthesis and restructuring processes. This involves specialised signalling pathways that control gene expression and activities of biosynthetic enzymes.

Phospho-code of a conserved transcriptional factor underpins fungal virulence
BMC BiologyBackground Cell wall integrity (CWI) is crucial for fungal growth, pathogenesis, and adaptation to extracellular environments. Calcofluor white (CFW) is a cell wall perturbant that inhibits fungal growth, yet little is known about how phytopathogenic ...

The Plant Cell Wall Integrity Sensing Mechanism
, 2013 Plant cell walls are dynamic and responsive structures rather than rigid cages. Disruption of cell wall integrity prevents cell expansion: for example, inhibition of cellulose biosynthesis with isoxaben rapidly reduces root elongation. This is not a passive consequence of mechanical failure but an active response regulated by cell wall integrity (CWI)
