Hyperactive ice‐binding proteins stabilize cell membranes and improve resistance to dehydration stress in Caenorhabditis elegans

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
TisIBP8, a fungal‐derived hyperactive ice‐binding protein, helps Caenorhabditis elegans survive dehydration. It localizes near cell membranes, reduces cell damage, and helps maintain membrane structure during drying. These results suggest that ice‐binding proteins can protect cells from dehydration stress as well as freezing stress.

Highlights of the Didymellaceae: A polyphasic approach to characterise Phoma and related pleosporalean genera [PDF]

, 2010
Fungal taxonomists routinely encounter problems when dealing with asexual fungal species due to poly- and paraphyletic generic phylogenies, and unclear species boundaries. These problems are aptly illustrated in the genus Phoma.

SWI/SNF complex-mediated chromatin remodeling in Candida glabrata promotes immune evasion

iScience
Summary: Immune evasion is critical for fungal virulence. However, how the human opportunistic pathogen Candida glabrata (Cg) accomplishes this is unknown. Here, we present the first genome-wide nucleosome map of the macrophage-internalized Cg consisting

Human CLPP reverts the longevity phenotype of a fungal ClpP deletion strain [PDF]

, 2013
Mitochondrial maintenance crucially depends on the quality control of proteins by various chaperones, proteases and repair enzymes. While most of the involved components have been studied in some detail, little is known on the biological role of the ...

Protocol for determination of phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate levels and localization in Candida glabrata by confocal microscopy

STAR Protocols
Summary: Phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PI3P) levels govern membrane trafficking in Candida glabrata. Here, we present a confocal imaging-based protocol for PI3P localization analysis using the GFP-FYVE (found in Fab1, YOTB, Vac1, and EEA1) fusion ...

De novo assembly of a 40 Mb eukaryotic genome from short sequence reads: Sordaria macrospora, a model organism for fungal morphogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Filamentous fungi are of great importance in ecology, agriculture, medicine, and biotechnology. Thus, it is not surprising that genomes for more than 100 filamentous fungi have been sequenced, most of them by Sanger sequencing.

Aspartyl proteases target host actin nucleator complex protein to limit epithelial innate immunity

EMBO Reports
Epithelial-immune cell communication is pivotal to control microbial infections. We show that glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked aspartyl proteases (Yapsins) of the human opportunistic pathogenic yeast Candida glabrata (Cg) thwart epithelial cell (EC ...
