Protein markers for Candida albicans EVs include claudin-like Sur7 family proteins

Journal of Extracellular Vesicles, 2020
Background: Fungal extracellular vesicles (EVs) have been implicated in host-pathogen and pathogen-pathogen communication in some fungal diseases. In depth research into fungal EVs has been hindered by the lack of specific protein markers such as those ...

Suppression of Chitin-Triggered Immunity by Plant Fungal Pathogens: A Case Study of the Cucurbit Powdery Mildew Fungus Podosphaera xanthii

Journal of Fungi, 2023
Fungal pathogens are significant plant-destroying microorganisms that present an increasing threat to the world’s crop production. Chitin is a crucial component of fungal cell walls and a conserved MAMP (microbe-associated molecular pattern) that can be ...

Application of anti-fungal vaccines as a tool against emerging anti-fungal resistance

Frontiers in Fungal Biology, 2023
After viruses and bacteria, fungal infections remain a serious threat to the survival and well-being of society. The continuous emergence of resistance against commonly used anti-fungal drugs is a serious concern.

Fungal Apoptosis-Related Proteins

Microorganisms
Programmed cell death (PCD) plays a crucial role in the development and homeostasis maintenance of multicellular organisms. Apoptosis is a form of PCD that prevents pathological development by eliminating damaged or useless cells.

Enhanced Antifungal Activity of Engineered Proteins via Swapping between Thioredoxin H2 and H3

Applied Sciences, 2019
Thioredoxins (Trxs) are proteins that act as antioxidants by facilitating the reduction of other proteins and are highly conserved in all organisms. Plant H-type Trx isoforms have different structures and perform multiple functions. Previous studies have

Comparative Secretome Analyses of Trichoderma/Arabidopsis Co-cultures Identify Proteins for Salt Stress, Plant Growth Promotion, and Root Colonization

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Numerous Trichoderma strains are beneficial for plants, promote their growth, and confer stress tolerance. A recently described novel Trichoderma strain strongly promotes the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana seedlings on media with 50 mM NaCl, while 150 mM

Cryo-Electron Tomography of Candida glabrata Plasma Membrane Proteins

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Fungal plasma membrane proteins have long been recognized as targets for the development of antifungal agents. Despite recent progress in experimental approaches and computational structural predictions, our knowledge of the structural dynamics and ...

Use of the Fluorescent Dye Thioflavin T to Track Amyloid Structures in the Pathogenic Yeast Candida albicans

Bio-Protocol
The human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans can attach to epithelial cells or indwelling medical devices to form biofilms. These microbial communities are highly problematic in the clinic as they reduce both sensitivity to antifungal drugs and detection ...

The predicted secretome of the plant pathogenic fungus Fusarium graminearum: a refined comparative analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
The fungus Fusarium graminearum forms an intimate association with the host species wheat whilst infecting the floral tissues at anthesis. During the prolonged latent period of infection, extracellular communication between live pathogen and host cells ...
