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

open access: yesInsects, 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 ...

Ferric reductase-related proteins mediate fungal heme acquisition

open access: yeseLife, 2022
Heme can serve as iron source in many environments, including the iron-poor animal host environment. The fungal pathobiont Candida albicans expresses a family of extracellular CFEM hemophores that capture heme from host proteins and transfer it across ...

FGB1 and WSC3 are in planta-induced beta-glucan-binding fungal lectins with different functions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
In the root endophyte Serendipita indica, several lectin-like members of the expanded multigene family of WSC proteins are transcriptionally induced in planta and are potentially involved in beta-glucan remodeling at the fungal cell wall.

Fungal Hydrogenosomes Contain Mitochondrial Heat-Shock Proteins [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Biology and Evolution, 2003
At least three groups of anaerobic eukaryotes lack mitochondria and instead contain hydrogenosomes, peculiar organelles that make energy and excrete hydrogen. Published data indicate that ciliate and trichomonad hydrogenosomes share common ancestry with mitochondria, but the evolutionary origins of fungal hydrogenosomes have been controversial. We have

Metaproteomic profiling of fungal gut colonization in gnotobiotic mice

open access: yesAnimal Microbiome, 2022
Background Eukaryotic microbes can modulate mammalian host health and disease states, yet the molecular contribution of gut fungi remains nascent. We previously showed that mice exclusively colonised with fungi displayed increased sensitivity to allergic

Amyloid prions in fungi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Prions are infectious protein polymers that have been found to cause fatal diseases in mammals. Prions have also been identified in fungi (yeast and filamentous fungi), where they behave as cytoplasmic non-Mendelian genetic elements.
