The potential of plant proteins as antifungal agents for agricultural applications

open access: yesSynthetic and Systems Biotechnology, 2022
Fungal pathogens induce a variety of diseases in both plants and post-harvest food crops, resulting in significant crop losses for the agricultural industry. Although the usage of chemical-based fungicides is the most common way to control these diseases,

Evolutionary Reshaping of Fungal Mating Pathway Scaffold Proteins

open access: yesmBio, 2011
Scaffold proteins play central roles in the function of many signaling pathways. Among the best-studied examples are the Ste5 and Far1 proteins of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. These proteins contain three conserved modules, the RING and PH domains,

The fungal-specific β-glucan-binding lectin FGB1 alters cell-wall composition and suppresses glucan-triggered immunity in plants

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
β-glucans derived from fungal cell walls can trigger immune responses in animals, yet their roles in plant-fungal interactions are less well known. Here, Wawraet al. show that the FGB1 proteins, secreted by the fungal endophyte P.

Fungal immunomodulatory proteins alleviate docetaxel-induced adverse effects

open access: yesJournal of Functional Foods, 2015
Docetaxel is widely used in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. Fungal immunomodulatory proteins of Flammulina velutipes (FIP-fve) and Ganoderma tsugae (FIP-gts) possess immunomodulatory and anti-cancer effects.

Interactions between fungal hyaluronic acid and host CD44 promote internalization by recruiting host autophagy proteins to forming phagosomes

open access: yesiScience, 2021
Summary: Phagocytosis and autophagy play critical roles in immune defense. The human fungal pathogen Cryptococcus neoformans (Cn) subverts host autophagy-initiation complex (AIC)-related proteins, to promote its phagocytosis and intracellular parasitism ...

Phylogenomics analysis of velvet regulators in the fungal kingdom

open access: yesMicrobiology Spectrum
All life forms have evolved to respond appropriately to various environmental and internal cues. In the animal kingdom, the prototypical regulator class of such cellular responses is the Rel homology domain proteins including nuclear factor kappa-light ...
