Fungal Cell Walls: A Survey

1981
The cell wall is commonly regarded as an assemblage of polymers, mainly polysaccharides, that occurs outside the plasma membrane of cells of plants, fungi, and bacteria. Because of its rigidity it maintains the shape of the cell and offers resistance to unlimited influx of water into the cell.

Chitin: A “Hidden Figure” in the Fungal Cell Wall

2019
Chitin and chitosan are two related polysaccharides that provide important structural stability to fungal cell walls. Often embedded deeply within the cell wall structure, these molecules anchor other components at the cell surface. Chitin-directed organization of the cell wall layers allows the fungal cell to effectively monitor and interact with the ...

PAMPs of the Fungal Cell Wall and Mammalian PRRs

2020
Fungi are opportunistic pathogens that infect immunocompromised patients and are responsible for an estimated 1.5 million deaths every year. The antifungal innate immune response is mediated through the recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) by the host's pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). PRRs are immune receptors that ensure

Cell Wall Fractionation for Yeast and Fungal Proteomics

2008
The cell wall is an external envelope shared by yeasts and filamentous fungi that defines the interface between the microorganism and its environment. It is an extremely complex structure consisting of an elastic framework of microfibrillar polysaccharides (glucans and chitin) that surrounds the plasma membrane and to which a wide array of different ...

Fungal Cell Walls — A Review

1990
As the outermost part of the cell envelope the wall provides the interface between the organism and its environment. The cell wall has therefore several roles.
