Regulation of Cell-to-Cell Communication and Cell Wall Integrity by a Network of MAP Kinase Pathways and Transcription Factors in Neurospora crassa [PDF]
Genetics, 2018 Abstract Filamentous fungi depend on asexual cell-to-cell communication and cell fusion to establish and maintain an interconnected mycelial colony. In Neurospora crassa, genetically identical asexual spores undergo chemotropic interactions resulting in cell fusion and colony establishment...

Yeast functional genomic screens lead to identification of a role for a bacterial effector in innate immunity regulation. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Numerous bacterial pathogens manipulate host cell processes to promote infection and ultimately cause disease through the action of proteins that they directly inject into host cells.

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022 Magnaporthe oryzae is one of the most destructive crop pathogens in the world, causing huge losses in rice harvest every year. Bacillus subtilis is a potential biocontrol agent that has been explored in many crop systems because it is a potent producer ...

Regulation of Cell Wall Biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: The Cell Wall Integrity Signaling Pathway [PDF]
Genetics, 2011 Abstract The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle. During growth and morphogenesis, and in response to environmental challenges, the cell wall is remodeled in a highly regulated and polarized manner ...

Rice Homeobox Protein KNAT7 Integrates the Pathways Regulating Cell Expansion and Wall Stiffness [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2019 During growth, plant cells must coordinate cell expansion and cell wall reinforcement by integrating distinct regulatory pathways in concert with intrinsic and external cues. However, the mechanism underpinning this integration is unclear, as few of the regulators that orchestrate cell expansion and wall strengthening have been identified.

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2020 Antifungal drug discovery and design is very challenging because of the considerable similarities in genetic features and metabolic pathways between fungi and humans. However, cell wall composition represents a notable point of divergence.

Journal of Fungi, 2021 Fungal cell wall receptors relay messages about the state of the cell wall to the nucleus through the Cell Wall Integrity Signaling (CWIS) pathway. The ultimate role of the CWIS pathway is to coordinate repair of cell wall damage and to restore normal ...

The RALF signaling pathway regulates cell wall integrity during pollen tube growth in maize
The Plant Cell, 2023 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 ...
