Up against the wall: is yeast cell wall integrity ensured by mechanosensing in plasma membrane microdomains?
Yeast cell wall integrity (CWI) signaling serves as a model of the regulation of fungal cell wall synthesis and provides the basis for the development of antifungal drugs. A set of five membrane-spanning sensors (Wsc1 to Wsc3, Mid2, and Mtl1) detect cell surface stress and commence the signaling pathway upon perturbations of either the cell wall structure or the plasma membrane. We here summari...
متن کاملEnvironmental threats
crops for biofuel are becoming increasingly apparent. Richard Pike, chief executive of the Royal Society of Chemistry in London recently estimated that it would require the entire production of biofuel crops from 20 hectares to replace the kerosene for just one transatlantic flight from London to New York. Just a few kilometres from Heathrow is Windsor Great Park, a 2,000 hectare former Norman ...
متن کاملCell wall integrity maintenance in plants
The plant cell wall is involved in different biological processes like cell morphogenesis and response to biotic/abiotic stress. Functional integrity of the wall is apparently being maintained during these processes by changing structure/composition and coordinating cell wall with cellular metabolism. In S.cerevisiae a well-characterized mechanism exists that is maintaining functional integrity...
متن کاملComparing strategies to preserve evolutionary diversity.
The likely future extinction of various species will result in a decline of two quantities: species richness and phylogenetic diversity (PD, or 'evolutionary history'). Under a simple stochastic model of extinction, we can estimate the expected loss of these quantities under two conservation strategies: An 'egalitarian' approach, which reduces the extinction risk of all species, and a 'targeted...
متن کاملBacterial Cell Wall-induced Immunosuppression
Asingle intraperitoneal injection of bacterial cell walls derived from groupA streptococci (SCW)' into susceptible rats results in the development of acute and chronic erosive polyarthritis (1, 2) . The pathology of the lesion leading to joint destruction has been shown to be aT cell-dependent, cell-mediated response to the deposition of the group A streptococcal peptidoglycan-polysaccharide po...
