Non-canonical virulence-associated proteins from pathogenic fungi: a review

Academia Molecular Biology and Genomics
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 ...

A Glycosylphosphatidylinositol Anchor Is Required for Membrane Localization but Dispensable for Cell Wall Association of Chitin Deacetylase 2 in Cryptococcus neoformans

mBio, 2012
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

Clinical, Histopathological, and Molecular Characterization of Pediatric MN1::ZNF341‐Associated Cancer

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT A lethal round‐cell malignancy with an MN1::ZNF341 fusion has recently been reported in three infants. Here, we describe four further tumors, three in newborns (including monozygotic twins), and one in an adolescent. Detailed clinical, radiological, and histopathological data differentiate these tumors from their main mimics, neuroblastoma and

Structure and Function of Plant Cell Wall Proteins [PDF]

The Plant Cell, 1993
Plant cell walls are amazingly complex amalgams of carbohy? drates, proteins, lignin, water, and incrusting substances such as cutin, suberin, and certain inorganic compounds that vary among plant species, cell types, and even neighboring cells. Developmental events and exposure to any of a number of abiotic and biotic stresses further increase this ...

THE CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF THE CELL WALL OF CHLAMYDOMONAS GYMNOGAMA AND THE CONCEPT OF A PLANT CELL WALL PROTEIN [PDF]

The Journal of Cell Biology, 1974
Cell walls of Chlamydomonas gymnogama, shed during sexual mating, were collected and analyzed. Ultrastructural examination indicates that the walls are free of cytoplasmic contamination and that they exhibit a regular lamellate structure. The walls are composed of glycoprotein rich in hydroxyproline.

Fern cell walls and the evolution of arabinogalactan proteins in streptophytes

The Plant Journal, 2022
SUMMARY Significant changes have occurred in plant cell wall composition during evolution and diversification of tracheophytes. As the sister lineage to seed plants, knowledge on the cell wall of ferns is key to track evolutionary changes across tracheophytes and to understand seed plant‐specific evolutionary ...

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Development of a method for the extraction and analysis of grape skin proteins strongly bound to cell walls

OENO One, 2013
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

Ultrastructural localization of capsules, cell wall polysaccharide, cell wall proteins, and F antigen in pneumococci [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1988
The localization of pneumococcal capsular and cell wall antigens was examined by immunoelectron microscopy. C polysaccharide (C-Ps), a common component of all pneumococci, was uniformly distributed on both the inside and outside of the cell walls. The thickness of the C-Ps varied with the strain.

Modulation of Homer1 EVH1 domain internal dynamics by putative autism‐associated mutations

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The putative autism‐associated M65I and S97L variants of the EVH1 domain of the postsynaptic scaffold protein Homer1 do not exhibit substantial changes in their overall structure or partner binding. Both of them, but especially the M65I variant, show altered internal dynamics relative to the wild‐type domain on the μs‐ms timescale, indicated by the ...
