The fungal cell wall is composed of a cross-linked matrix of chitin, glucans, mannans, galactomannans, and cell wall proteins with mannan chains. Cell wall mannans are directly attached to the cell wall core, while the majority of mannoproteins is ...

Clostridium difficile has a single sortase, SrtB, that can be inhibited by small-molecule inhibitors. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Bacterial sortases are transpeptidases that covalently anchor surface proteins to the peptidoglycan of the Gram-positive cell wall. Sortase protein anchoring is mediated by a conserved cell wall sorting signal on the anchored protein ...

Background Cell elongation in plants requires addition and re-arrangements of cell wall components. Even if some protein families have been shown to play roles in these events, a global picture of proteins present in cell walls of elongating cells is ...

Bacterial glycobiology: rhamnose-containing cell wall polysaccharides in Gram-positive bacteria. [PDF]
The composition of the Gram-positive cell wall is typically described as containing peptidoglycan, proteins and essential secondary cell wall structures called teichoic acids, which comprise approximately half of the cell wall mass.

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

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.

Structure and Function of Plant Cell Wall Proteins [PDF]
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]
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.
