Effects of mesoporous SiO2-CaO nanospheres on the murine peritoneal macrophages -- Candida albicans interface [PDF]

Int Immunopharmacol International Immunopharmacology. 2021 Mar 20;94:107457, 2021
The use of nanoparticles for intracellular drug delivery could reduce the toxicity and side effects of the drug but, the uptake of these nanocarriers could induce adverse effects on cells and tissues after their incorporation. Macrophages play a central role in host defense and are responsible for in vivo nanoparticle trafficking.

Sub-Lethal Effects of Partially Purified Protein Extracted from Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo) and Its Presumptive Role in Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) Defense against Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)

Insects, 2020
Plants rely on various physiological and molecular defense mechanisms against biotic stresses such as herbivore insects. Many entomopathogenic fungi synthesize protein molecules that can trigger these plant defenses.

Roles of Rack1 Proteins in Fungal Pathogenesis [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2016
Pathogenic fungi cause diseases on various organisms. Despite their differences in life cycles, fungal pathogens use well-conserved proteins and pathways to regulate developmental and infection processes. In this review, we focus on Rack1, a multifaceted scaffolding protein involved in various biological processes. Rack1 is well conserved in eukaryotes

Cytoplasmic Lipases—A Novel Class of Fungal Defense Proteins Against Nematodes

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2021
Fungi are an attractive food source for predators such as fungivorous nematodes. Several fungal defense proteins and their protective mechanisms against nematodes have been described.

Five Silkworm 30K Proteins Are Involved in the Cellular Immunity against Fungi

Insects, 2021
Background: 30K proteins are a major group of nutrient storage proteins in the silkworm hemolymph. Previous studies have shown that 30K proteins are involved in the anti-fungal immunity; however, the molecular mechanism involved in this immunity remains ...

Virtual 2-D map of the fungal proteome

Scientific Reports, 2021
The molecular weight and isoelectric point (pI) of the proteins plays important role in the cell. Depending upon the shape, size, and charge, protein provides its functional role in different parts of the cell.

Genomic and proteomic biases inform metabolic engineering strategies for anaerobic fungi. [PDF]

, 2020
Anaerobic fungi (Neocallimastigomycota) are emerging non-model hosts for biotechnology due to their wealth of biomass-degrading enzymes, yet tools to engineer these fungi have not yet been established.

Fungal recognition by mammalian fibrinogen‐related proteins [PDF]

Scandinavian Journal of Immunology, 2020
AbstractFungi are ubiquitous eukaryotic micro‐organisms present in virtually all environmental habitats. Although rarely pathogenic to the healthy population, many fungal species are capable of causing human disease in immunocompromised individuals. Thus, fungal infections remain a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, with rising prevalence ...

Phylogenomic analyses of non-Dikarya fungi supports horizontal gene transfer driving diversification of secondary metabolism in the amphibian gastrointestinal symbiont, Basidiobolus [PDF]

, 2020
Research into secondary metabolism (SM) production by fungi has resulted in the discovery of diverse, biologically active compounds with significant medicinal applications. However, the fungi rich in SM production are taxonomically restricted to Dikarya,
