The cell wall is essential to nearly every aspect of the biology and pathogenicity of Candida
albicans. Although it was intially considered an almost inert cellular structure that protected …

In fungi and many other organisms, a thick outer cell wall is responsible for determining the
shape of the cell and for maintaining its integrity. The budding yeast Saccharomyces …

Fungal cell walls undergo continual remodeling that generates β-1, 3-glucan fragments as
products of endo-glycosyl hydrolases (GHs), which can be recognized as pathogen …

Biotinylation of intact Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells with a nonpermeant reagent (Sulfo-
NHS-LC-Biotin) allowed the identification of seven cell wall proteins that were released from …

The mycoparasitic fungus Trichoderma harzianum CECT 2413 produces at least three
extracellular beta-1, 3-glucanases. The most basic of these extracellular enzymes, named …

In Aspergillus fumigatus like in other filamentous ascomycetes, β-1, 3-glucan constitutes a
prominent cell wall component being responsible for rigidity of the cell wall structure. In …

Chitin is an essential structural component of the yeast cell wall whose deposition is
regulated throughout the yeast life cycle. The temporal and spatial regulation of chitin …

ABSTRACT ENG1 (YNR067c), a gene encoding a new endo-1, 3-β-glucanase, was cloned
by screening a genomic library with a DNA probe obtained by PCR with synthetic …

The enzymes from Trichoderma species that degrade fungal cell walls have been suggested
to play an important role in mycoparasitic action against fungal plant pathogens. The …

An anther‐specific Brassica napus cDNA, A6, and two corresponding Arabidopsis thaliana
genes have been isolated. Sequence analyses of A6 revealed similarity to β‐1, 3 …
