The Effects of Candida Albicans Cell Wall Protein Fraction on Dendritic Cell Maturation
Back ground: Candida albicans is a member of the normal human microflora. C. albicans cell wall is composed of several protein and carbohydrate components which have been shown to play a crucial role in C. albicans interaction with the host immune system. Major components of C. albican cell wall are carbohydrates such as mannans, β glucans and chitins, and proteins that partially modulate the h...
متن کاملIntroduction: plant cell wall proteins.
The cell wall and its underlying plasma membrane represent the dynamic interface between a plant cell and its environment, which includes neighboring cells. Biology texts commonly describe plant cell walls, but rarely acknowledge the existence and importance of cell wall proteins, making them the Rodney Dangerfields of plant biology. This set of multi-author reviews provides the reader with a c...
متن کاملPlant cell walls: Wall-associated kinases and cell expansion
Arabidopsis has a family of five cell wall-associated protein kinases (WAKs) with properties suggestive of transmembrane sensors between the cell wall and the cytoplasm. Recent results show that WAKs are bound to pectin and are necessary for normal leaf cell enlargement and other growth processes.
متن کاملStructure and function of plant cell wall proteins.
Plant cell walls are amazingly complex amalgams of carbohydrates, proteins, lignin, water, and incrusting substances such as cutin, suberin, and certain inorganic compounds that vary among plant species, cell types, and even neighboring cells. Developmental events and exposure to any of a number of abiotic and biotic stresses further increase this compositional and structural variation. Moreove...
متن کاملStructure and function of plant cell wall polysaccharides.
Studies of the primary structures of polysaccharides of growing plant cell walls have shown that these structures are far more complex than was anticipated just a few years ago. This complexity can best be appreciated by considering xyloglucan, a hemicellulose present in the cell wall of both monocots and dicots, and rhamnogalacturonan II (RG-II) and rhamnogalacturonan I (RG-I), two structurall...
