The cell cycle, autophagy, and cell wall integrity pathway jointly governed by MoSwe1 in Magnaporthe oryzae. [PDF]
AbstractThe cell cycle is pivotal to cellular differentiation in plant pathogenic fungi. Cell wall integrity (CWI) signaling plays an essential role in coping with cell wall stress. Autophagy is a degradation process in which cells decompose their components to recover macromolecules and provide energy under stress conditions.

Involvement of the Cell Wall Integrity Pathway of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in Protection against Cadmium and Arsenate Stresses. [PDF]
Environmental pollution by metal/metalloids such as cadmium and arsenic has become a serious problem in many countries, especially in developing countries. This study shows that in the yeast S. cerevisiae , the CWI pathway plays a protective role against cadmium and arsenate through the upregulation of genes ...

Crosstalk between the calcineurin and cell wall integrity pathways prevents chitin overexpression in Candida albicans [PDF]
ABSTRACT Echinocandins such as caspofungin are frontline antifungal drugs that compromise β-1,3 glucan synthesis in the cell wall. Recent reports have shown that fungal cells can resist killing by caspofungin by upregulation of chitin synthesis, thereby sustaining cell wall integrity (CWI).

Cell Wall Integrity MAPK Pathway Is Essential for Lipid Homeostasis [PDF]
The highly conserved yeast cell wall integrity mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway regulates cellular responses to cell wall and membrane stress. We report that this pathway is activated and essential for viability under growth conditions that alter both the abundance and pattern of synthesis and turnover of membrane phospholipids, particularly ...

The RALF signaling pathway regulates cell wall integrity during pollen tube growth in maize
Abstract Autocrine signaling pathways regulated by RAPID ALKALINIZATION FACTORs (RALFs) control cell wall integrity during pollen tube germination and growth in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). To investigate the role of pollen-specific RALFs in another plant species, we combined gene expression data with phylogenetic and ...

The Role of the Cell Integrity Pathway in Septum Assembly in Yeast
Cytokinesis divides a mother cell into two daughter cells at the end of each cell cycle and proceeds via the assembly and constriction of a contractile actomyosin ring (CAR).

Chitin is an important fungal cell wall component that is cross-linked to β-glucan for structural integrity. Acquisition of chitin to glucan cross-links has previously been shown to be performed by transglycosylation enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae ...

Roles of High Osmolarity Glycerol and Cell Wall Integrity Pathways in Cadmium Toxicity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
Cadmium is a carcinogen that can induce ER stress, DNA damage, oxidative stress and cell death. The yeast mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signalling pathways paly crucial roles in response to various stresses. Here, we demonstrate that the unfolded protein response (UPR) pathway, the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway and the cell wall ...

Differential Requirement for the Cell Wall Integrity Sensor Wsc1p in Diploids Versus Haploids
The primary role of the Cell Wall Integrity Pathway (CWI) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is monitoring the state of the cell wall in response to general life cycle stresses (growth and mating) and imposed stresses (temperature changes and chemicals). Of the
