Candida albicans Als adhesins have conserved amyloid-forming sequences.
The cell wall-bound Als adhesins of Candida albicans mediate both yeast-to-host tissue adherence and yeast aggregation. This aggregation is amyloid-like, with self-propagating secondary-structure changes, amyloid-characteristic dye binding, and induced birefringence (J. M. Rauceo, N. K. Gaur, K. G. Lee, J. E. Edwards, S. A. Klotz, and P. N. Lipke, Infect. Immun. 72:4948-4955, 2004). Therefore, ...
متن کاملStructural biology of Gram-positive bacterial adhesins.
The structural biology of Gram-positive cell surface adhesins is an emerging field of research, whereas Gram-negative pilus assembly and anchoring have been extensively investigated and are well understood. Gram-positive surface proteins known as MSCRAMMs (microbial surface components recognizing adhesive matrix molecules) and individual proteins that assemble into long, hair-like organelles kn...

متن کاملCandida albicans Agglutinin-Like Sequence (Als) Family Vignettes: A Review of Als Protein Structure and Function
Approximately two decades have passed since the description of the first gene in the Candida albicans ALS (agglutinin-like sequence) family. Since that time, much has been learned about the composition of the family and the function of its encoded cell-surface glycoproteins. Solution of the structure of the Als adhesive domain provides the opportunity to evaluate the molecular basis for protein...
