Identification of a novel zinc metalloprotease through a global analysis of clostridium difficile extracellular proteins [PDF]
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of infectious diarrhea worldwide. Although the cell surface proteins are recognized to be important in clostridial pathogenesis, biological functions of only a few are known.

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 ...

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

Proteostasis and the gut microbiota play a key role in shaping host physiology. Microbiota‐derived metabolites, vitamins, and RNA modulate host proteostasis. Findings from model systems, including C. elegans, indicate microbes can either stabilize or disrupt host proteostasis.

Identification and characterisation of the Arabidopsis thaliana cell wall proteome: unravelling novel cell wall proteins and new potential functions of the plant extracellular matrix [PDF]
The application of the proteomic approach has facilitated efforts directed toward the mapping of the entire Arabidopsis cell wall proteome. Proteins were sequentially extracted from purified cell walls using 0.2 M CaC1(_2) followed by a urea buffer.

Cell wall involvement in desiccation tolerance in the resurrection plant Craterostigma wilmsii [PDF]
Bibliography: leaves 92-129.Resurrection plants have the unique capacity to revive from an air-dried state. In order to cope with desiccation, resurrection plants have to overcome a number of stresses, mechanical stress being one.

Fern cell walls and the evolution of arabinogalactan proteins in streptophytes
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 ...

From mice to humans—divergent strategies for intestinal homeostasis and regeneration
Recent advances such as organoid genome editing, xenotransplantation, imaging, and whole‐genome sequencing have enabled direct studies of human intestinal stem cells (ISCs). These studies reveal species‐specific features, including slower ISC proliferation, distinct injury responses, slower somatic mutation accumulation in humans, and an inverse ...

Roles of membrane trafficking in plant cell wall dynamics
The cell wall is one of the characteristic components of plant cells. The cell wall composition differs among cell types and is modified in response to various environmental conditions.

Adaptation of roots to low water potentials by changes in cell wall extensibility and cell wall proteins [PDF]
It is common for the root/shoot ratio of plants to increase when water availability is limiting. This ratio increases because roots are less sensitive than shoots to growth inhibition by low water potentials. The physiological and molecular mechanisms that assist root growth under drought conditions are reviewed, with a focus on changes in cell walls ...
