Abstract The polysaccharide β (1, 3)-d-glucan is a component of the cell wall of many fungi.
Synthesis of the linear polymer is catalysed by UDP-glucose β (1, 3)-d-glucan β (3)-d …

In the past three decades invasive mycoses have globally emerged as a persistent source of
healthcare-associated infections. The cell wall surrounding the fungal cell opposes the …

Fungal Cell Wall presents a comprehensive examination of the structure, synthesis, and
growth of the fungal cell wall and explores the reasons for the cell wall's importance to the …

Here we report the synthesis, in vitro antifungal evaluation and SAR study of 41 chalcones
and analogues. In addition, all active structures were tested for their capacity of inhibiting …

Callose is synthesized on the forming cell plate and several other locations in the plant. We
cloned an Arabidopsis cDNA encoding a callose synthase (CalS1) catalytic subunit. The …

The glucan synthase complex of the human pathogenic mold Aspergillus fumigatus has
been investigated. The genes encoding the putative catalytic subunit Fks1p and four Rho …

Cryptococcal meningitis is a fungal infection, caused by Cryptococcus neoformans, which is
prevalent in immunocompromised patient populations. Treatment failures of this disease are …

Proper completion of mitosis requires careful coordination of numerous cellular events. It is
crucial, for example, that cells do not initiate spindle disassembly and cytokinesis until …

Schizosaccharomyces pombe cells divide by medial fission throughout contraction of an
actomyosin ring and deposition of a multilayered division septum that must be cleaved to …

Using a hierarchical approach, 620 non‐essential single‐gene yeast deletants generated by
EUROFAN I were systematically screened for cell‐wall‐related phenotypes. By analyzing for …
