Fungal infections are a major contributor to infectious disease-related deaths across the
globe. Candida species are among the most common causes of invasive mycotic disease …

The fungal cell wall is located outside the plasma membrane and is the cell compartment
that mediates all the relationships of the cell with the environment. It protects the contents of …

The membrane-integrated synthase FKS is involved in the biosynthesis of β-1, 3-glucan, the
core component of the fungal cell wall,. FKS is the target of widely prescribed antifungal …

Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of potential pathogens and to protect
themselves, have developed a variety of chemical and physical defense mechanisms …

Glucans are the most abundant polysaccharides in the cell walls of fungi, and their
structures are highly variable. Accordingly, their glucose moieties may be joined through …

The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the
maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle …

The cell wall is an essential component in fungal homeostasis. The lack of a covering wall in
human cells makes this component an attractive target for antifungal development. The host …

The wall gives a Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell its osmotic integrity; defines cell shape
during budding growth, mating, sporulation, and pseudohypha formation; and presents …

Small GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) exist in eukaryotes from yeast to human and
constitute a superfamily consisting of more than 100 members. This superfamily is …

The fungal cell wall is a dynamic structure that protects the cell from changes in osmotic
pressure and other environmental stresses, while allowing the fungal cell to interact with its …
