PLoS Pathogens, 2023 Fungal insect pathogens have evolved diverse mechanisms to evade host immune recognition and defense responses. However, identification of fungal factors involved in host immune evasion during cuticular penetration and subsequent hemocoel colonization ...

Structure of Fungal Cell Wall Polysaccharides
Nippon Ishinkin Gakkai Zasshi, 2006 Candida albicans mannan consists of the alpha-1,6-linked backbone moiety and the alpha-1,2- and alpha-1,3-linked side chains. It also contains alpha-1,6-branched mannose units, beta-1,2-linked mannose units, and phosphate groups. The cell wall mannans of the genus Candida possess three types of beta-1,2 linked mannose units.

The Cell Surface, 2020 Despite the importance of fungal cell walls as the principle determinant of fungal morphology and the defining element determining fungal interactions with other cells, few scalar models have been developed that reconcile chemical and microscopic ...

, 2012 Fungal cell wall is a rigid structure mainly composed of polysaccharides (up to 90 %) and glycoproteins. It is essential for survival of the fungal cells, because it protects them against bursting caused by internal turgor pressure and against mechanical injury. Because of its absence in mammalian cells, it is an attractive target for antifungal agents.

Tasting the fungal cell wall. [PDF]
Cellular microbiology, 2010 The search for common host mechanisms that recognize human fungal pathogens as non-self has led to an increased interest in cell wall polysaccharides since they are absent from mammals and at least for some of them, common to all fungal species. Even though the receptors recognizing mannans and beta-1,3-glucans have been extensively studied to date ...
