The Fungal Cell Wall: Candida, Cryptococcus, and Aspergillus Species [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 The fungal cell wall is located outside the plasma membrane and is the cell compartment that mediates all the relationships of the cell with the environment. It protects the contents of the cell, gives rigidity and defines the cellular structure.

Interactions between copper homeostasis and the fungal cell wall affect copper stress resistance. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2022 Copper homeostasis mechanisms are essential for microbial adaption to changing copper levels within the host during infection. In the opportunistic fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn), the Cn Cbi1/Bim1 protein is a newly identified copper ...

Study of fungal cell wall evolution through its monosaccharide composition: An insight into fungal species interacting with plants [PDF]
The Cell SurfaceEvery fungal cell is encapsulated in a cell wall, essential for cell viability, morphogenesis, and pathogenesis. Most knowledge of the cell wall composition in fungi has focused on ascomycetes, especially human pathogens, but considerably less is known ...

Architecture of the dynamic fungal cell wall
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2022 The fungal cell wall is essential for growth and survival, and is a key target for antifungal drugs and the immune system. The cell wall must be robust but flexible, protective and shielding yet porous to nutrients and membrane vesicles and receptive to exogenous signals.

Post-transcriptional control of fungal cell wall synthesis [PDF]
The Cell Surface, 2022 Pathogenic fungi hide from their hosts by camouflage, obscuring immunogenic cell wall components such as beta-glucan with innocuous coverings such as mannoproteins and alpha-glucan that are less readily recognised by the host.

Structural evolution of a fungal cell wall protein family for β-glucan-binding and cell separation [PDF]
mBioIn fungi, the continuous biosynthesis and remodeling of the cell wall are crucial for growth, division, and development. A hallmark of fungal cell walls is their layered structure, which includes several carbohydrate polymers, such as β-glucans, and a ...

Fungal Cell Wall: Emerging Antifungals and Drug Resistance [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The cell wall is an essential component in fungal homeostasis. The lack of a covering wall in human cells makes this component an attractive target for antifungal development. The host environment and antifungal stress can lead to cell wall modifications

The interaction with fungal cell wall polysaccharides determines the salt tolerance of antifungal plant defensins [PDF]
The Cell Surface, 2019 The fungal cell wall is the first point of contact between fungal pathogens and host organisms. It serves as a protective barrier against biotic and abiotic stresses and as a signal to the host that a fungal pathogen is present.
