Covalent association of beta-1,3-glucan with beta-1,6-glucosylated mannoproteins in cell walls of Candida albicans.
Yeast and hyphal walls of Candida albicans were extracted with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Some of the extracted proteins reacted with a specific beta-1,6-glucan antiserum but not with a beta-1,3-glucan antiserum. They lost their beta-1,6-glucan epitope after treatment with ice-cold aqueous hydrofluoric acid, suggesting that beta-1,6-glucan was linked to the protein through a phosphodiester b...
متن کاملEffects of beta-glucan in a mice model of vaginitis by candida albicans
Methods Fifty four Balb/C mice of 7 to 10 weeks old under influence of estrogen were inoculated with 5x10 stationaryphase blastoconidia of C. albicans, intravaginally. The mice were divided in three groups, treated with glucan vaginally (5mg/mL) and intraperitoneally (1mg/mL), and the control group that received saline, intraperitoneally. Vaginal lavage was obtained on days 2, 5, 8 e 10 after i...
متن کاملCloning of the RHO1 gene from Candida albicans and its regulation of beta-1,3-glucan synthesis.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae RHO1 gene encodes a low-molecular-weight GTPase. One of its recently identified functions is the regulation of beta-1,3-glucan synthase, which synthesizes the main component of the fungal cell wall (J. Drgonova et al., Science 272:277-279, 1996; T. Mazur and W. Baginsky, J. Biol. Chem. 271:14604-14609, 1996; and H. Qadota et al., Science 272:279-281, 1996). From the...
متن کاملMurine model of Kawasaki disease induced by mannoprotein-beta-glucan complex, CAWS, obtained from Candida albicans.
Intraperitoneal administration of CAWS (water-soluble extracellular polysaccharide fraction obtained from the culture supernatant of Candida albicans) to mice induces coronary arteritis similar to Kawasaki disease. We analyzed differences in the production of cytokines involved in the occurrence of coronary arteritis among mouse strains, C3H/HeN, C57BL/6, DBA/2 and CBA/J. The incidence of arter...
متن کاملEffect of CAWS, a mannoprotein-beta-glucan complex of Candida albicans, on leukocyte, endothelial cell, and platelet functions in vitro.
Candida albicans is a medically important fungus which induces a disseminated candidasis and candidemia in immunocompromised hosts, and releases a polysaccharide fraction into the blood. We recently found that C. albicans released a water-soluble polysaccharide fraction (CAWS) into synthetic medium and demonstrated that CAWS was mainly composed of a complex of mannan and beta-glucan. In the mur...
