Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2009
It is accepted that most fungal avirulence genes encode virulence factors that are called effectors. Most fungal effectors are secreted, cysteine-rich proteins, and a role in virulence has been shown for a few of them, including Avr2 and Avr4 of Cladosporium fulvum, which inhibit plant cysteine proteases and protect chitin in fungal cell walls against

This chapter reviews the uses of processed fungal cells as protein-rich foods in substitution to meat. Yeasts, mushrooms, and filamentous fungi have long been part of the human diet, improving the nutritional quality and taste of different foods. Recently, because of the populational growth and environmental impact caused by animal farming, the use of ...

Hydrophobins, unique fungal proteins
Mycologist, 2000Hydrophobins are proteins that appear unique to mycelial fungi. They play essential roles in the emergence of aerial structures, gas exchange in fruiting bodies and lichens, and in pathogenesis. These roles are all based on the remarkable properties of these proteins as observed in vitro .

Fungal Protein Production: Design and Production of Chimeric Proteins
Annual Review of Microbiology, 2011For more than a century, filamentous fungi have been used for the production of a wide variety of endogenous enzymes of industrial interest. More recently, with the use of genetic engineering tools developed for these organisms, this use has expanded for the production of nonnative heterologous proteins.

Genome‐wide identification of fungal GPI proteins
Yeast, 2003AbstractGlycosylphosphatidylinositol‐modified (GPI) proteins share structural features that allow their identification using a genomic approach. From the known S. cerevisiae and C. albicans GPI proteins, the following consensus sequence for the GPI attachment site and its downstream region was derived: [NSGDAC]–[GASVIETKDLF]–[GASV]–X(4,19 ...

Fungal Proteins with Antiproliferative and Anticancer Activities
Protein & Peptide Letters, 2013Fungi produce a variety of proteins with antiproliferative activity toward tumor cells and anticancer activity in tumor bearing mice. The aforementioned fungal proteins include ribonucleases, antifungal proteins, ubiquitin-like peptides, ribosome inactivating proteins, hemolysins, hemagglutinins/lectins, laccases, and protein-bound polysaccharopeptides.

Glomalin: an arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal soil protein
Protoplasma, 2012Glomalin is abundant in soils and is closely correlated with aggregate water stability. Glomalin contains carbon and, hence, constitutes a non-trivial portion of the terrestrial carbon pool. Possibly far more importantly, however, stabilization of aggregates amplifies the role of glomalin in soils because carbonaceous compounds are protected from ...

ABC proteins in yeast and fungal pathogens
Essays in Biochemistry, 2011All fungal genomes harbour numerous ABC (ATP-binding cassette) proteins located in various cellular compartments such as the plasma membrane, vacuoles, peroxisomes and mitochondria. Most of them have initially been discovered through their ability to confer resistance to a multitude of drugs, a phenomenon called PDR (pleiotropic drug resistance) or MDR

Stress proteins in fungal diseases.
Medical mycology, 1999Heat shock proteins (hsps) are ubiquitous families of proteins, found in all organisms studied so far. They are highly conserved across the species barrier and serve fundamental functions in cell physiology. The term 'heat shock' was adopted because of the early observation of the heat-inducible nature of these proteins, although, as it is now realized

Artificial Evolution of Fungal Proteins
2004Numerous techniques have been developed over the last two decades to change characteristics of proteins, and with these techniques it has become feasible to customize proteins for specific commercial and environmental applications. For instance, a fungal lipase from Thermomyces lanuginosus has been improved to increase its performance in detergent ...
