Cell wall protein mannosylation determines Candida albicans cell surface hydrophobicity [PDF]
Summary: Cell surface hydrophobicity (CSH) has been shown to be an important factor in the ability of the opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida albicans to adhere to surfaces. Hydrophobic cells adhere more readily to host tissue, and are more resistant to phagocytic killing, than hydrophilic cells.

Background Plant growth is a complex process involving cell division and elongation. Arabidopsis thaliana hypocotyls undergo a 100-fold length increase mainly by cell elongation.

Influence of hydrogen sulfide on the cell wall proteins composition of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts is investigated. H2S considerably destroys the outer mannoprotein layer of the cell wall.

Proteomic analysis of a Candida albicans pir32 null strain reveals proteins involved in adhesion, filamentation and virulence. [PDF]
We have previously characterized Pir32, a Candia albicans cell wall protein that we found to be involved in filamentation, virulence, chitin deposition, and resistance to oxidative stress. Other than defining the cell shape, the cell wall is critical for

Non-canonical virulence-associated proteins from pathogenic fungi: a review
Using genomic and proteomic data, many researchers have uncovered novel proteins associated with the cell walls of pathogenic fungi. The literature proposes examples of detected proteins in the cell wall, such as moonlight proteins, with dual ...

Characterization of Carrot Cell Wall Protein
Antiserum was raised against a synthetic nona-peptide which was predicted to have considerable homology with the unhydroxylated, unglycosylated precursor of cell wall proteins from several plants. The antiserum is able to recognize the major cell wall protein of incubated carrot (Daucus carota) root discs which is produced when the discs are treated ...

Cell wall proteins (CWPs) mediate important cellular processes in fungi, including adhesion, invasion, biofilm formation, and flocculation. The current model of fungal cell wall organization includes a major class of CWPs covalently bound to β-1,6-glucan

Emission of floral volatiles is facilitated by cell-wall non-specific lipid transfer proteins
Volatile compounds to be released from the plant cell to the atmosphere must cross the cell wall. Here the authors show that cell-wall localized non-specific lipid transfer proteins facilitate the diffusion of volatiles across the hydrophilic cell wall.

Aim: To better understand the protein composition of grape skin cell walls, we have developed a method to analyse the strongly bound cell wall proteins. Methods and results: The protocol was developed with grape skins at full maturity. The critical steps

Primary plant cell walls are composite extracellular structures composed of three major classes of polysaccharides (pectins, hemicelluloses, and cellulose) and of proteins. The cell wall proteins (CWPs) play multiple roles during plant development and in
