The fungal elicitor cryptogein is a sterol carrier protein [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 1997 Cryptogein is a protein secreted by the phytopathogenic pseudo‐fungus, Phytophthora cryptogea. It is a basic 10 kDa hydrophilic protein having a hydrophobic pocket and three disulfide bridges. These common features with sterol carrier proteins led us to investigate its possible sterol transfer activity using the fluorescent sterol, dehydroergosterol ...

Cross Kingdom Metabolic Engineering Paradigm Elevating Sustainable Protein Production
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Confronting the dual crisis of escalating global protein demand and unsustainable agriculture necessitates transformative solutions. Here, we pioneer evolutionary insights from maize nitrogen optimization via asparagine synthetase (ASNS) to rewire metabolism in Pichia pastoris.

Multimodal Imaging Reveals Rapid Catecholamine Uptake and Release by Neutrophils
Advanced Science, EarlyView.We show that immune cells (neutrophils) synthesize, uptake, and store catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine or adrenaline. They also release them in response to specific stimuli (serotonin), which we directly visualize using fluorescent nanosensors. We further demonstrate that catecholamines affect neutrophil functions (NETosis) and platelet

The Fungal CYP51s: Their Functions, Structures, Related Drug Resistance, and Inhibitors
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 CYP51 (Erg11) belongs to the cytochrome P450 monooxygenase (CYP) superfamily and mediates a crucial step of the synthesis of ergosterol, which is a fungal-specific sterol. It is also the target of azole drugs in clinical practice.

Engineering Microbial Particles for Next‐Generation Biomedical Platforms
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Microbe‐derived particles (MDPs), which include extracellular vesicles, outer membrane vesicles, inclusion bodies, polysaccharide particles, and virus‐like particles, represent a rapidly expanding category of bioinspired nanomaterials. With their natural origin, intrinsic biocompatibility, and highly programmable functionality, MDPs serve as a ...

A Bright Future for Fluorescence Imaging of Fungi in Living Hosts
Journal of Fungi, 2019 Traditional in vivo investigation of fungal infection and new antifungal therapies in mouse models is usually carried out using post mortem methodologies. However, biomedical imaging techniques focusing on non-invasive techniques using bioluminescent and
