Major Sensing Proteins in Pathogenic Fungi: The Hybrid Histidine Kinase Family
The pioneering discovery of histidine kinases (HKs) from Escherichia coli was made in the early 1980s with the identification of the envZ gene [1] (Fig 1A). Further biochemical characterization of the corresponding protein revealed a new type of protein kinase activity, namely HK, to add to the well-known serine/threonine and tyrosine kinases. For a decade, HKs were considered to be restricted ...
متن کاملDeterminants of homodimerization specificity in histidine kinases.
Two-component signal transduction pathways consisting of a histidine kinase and a response regulator are used by prokaryotes to respond to diverse environmental and intracellular stimuli. Most species encode numerous paralogous histidine kinases that exhibit significant structural similarity. Yet in almost all known examples, histidine kinases are thought to function as homodimers. We investiga...
متن کاملAntifungal resistance in pathogenic fungi.
Pathogenic fungi are the cause of life-threatening infections in an increasing number of immunocompromised patients. The intrinsic resistance to antifungal therapy observed in some genera, along with the development of resistance during treatment in others, is becoming a major problem in the management of these diseases. We reviewed the epidemiology of the most common systemic fungal infections...
متن کاملLectins in human pathogenic fungi.
Lectins are carbohydrate-binding proteins widely distributed in nature. They constitute a highly diverse group of proteins consisting of many different protein families that are, in general, structurally unrelated. In the last few years, mushroom and other fungal lectins have attracted wide attention due to their antitumour, antiproliferative and immunomodulatory activities. The present mini-re...
متن کاملAutophagy in plant pathogenic fungi.
Autophagy is a conserved cellular process that degrades cytoplasmic constituents in vacuoles. Plant pathogenic fungi develop special infection structures and/or secrete a range of enzymes to invade their plant hosts. It has been demonstrated that monitoring autophagy processes can be extremely useful in visualizing the sequence of events leading to pathogenicity of plant pathogenic fungi. In th...
