Impact of the mycobiome on the health of the female genital tract
… the factors that influence FGT health. The fungal constituent of the microbiome (the mycobiome) has been demonstrated to play a role in regulating mucosal health, especially when the bacterial component is disturbed. However, we have a limited understanding of the vaginal mycobiome since …

[GAR⁺] : a novel type of prion involved in glucose signaling and environmental sensing in S. cerevisiae
Several well-characterized fungal proteins act as prions, proteins capable of multiple conformations, each with different activities, at least one of which is selfpropagating. We report a protein-based heritable element that confers resistance to glucosamine, [GAR⁺]. Genetically it resembles other …

Characterisation of candidate effector proteins from barley pathogen <i>Rhynchosporium commune</i>
… abundant transcripts coding for small secreted fungal proteins called RcCDI1, Rc2 and Rsu3_07158, this last one encoding for a hydrophobic surface binding protein. They are most highly up-regulated early during infection. RcCDI1 and its homologs from different fungal species exhibit PAMP …

Structure and Mechanism of a Eukaryotic FMN Adenylyltransferase
… similarity to other known flavin binding proteins. To determine the unique flavin binding site, and to investigate the residues involved in substrate binding and the mechanism of catalysis, we utilized X-ray crystallography and biochemical methods. Here we report the first structural …

Nanocápsulas furtivas de óleo de copaíba contendo anfotericina B: um sistema promissor no tratamento de infecções fúngicas sistêmicas
… amphotericin B is used in the treatment of fungal infections, it has relevant associated toxicity. Based on that, several strategies have been developed to reduce the toxicity and risks caused by this molecule. Currently, nanosystems have assumed prominence especially when associated with …

Identification of host proteins targeted by the flax rust effector protein AvrL567
… cellular targets of the two M. lini effector proteins AvrL567 and AvrM and elucidate the function of these targets. To identify targets of the effector proteins, Yeast-2-Hybrid (Y2H) screens were performed with cDNA from rust infected flax leaves. This approach allowed for the identification …

Identification and characterization of BEN1, a novel microtubule associated protein in fission yeast
In the fission yeast S. pombe, Mto1p and Mto2p are involved in MT nucleation from cytoplasmic MTOCs and recruit components of the γ-TuC. We wished to discover whether Ben1p plays a similar role. ben1<sup>+</sup> was tagged at its normal chromosomal location and the intracellular localization was …

The Role of Codon Usage in Regulating Protein Expression, Structure and Function
Codon usage bias has been observed in the genomes of almost all organisms and is thought to result from selection for efficient translation of highly expressed genes. Many genes, however, exhibit little codon usage bias. It's not clear whether the lack of codon bias for a gene is due to lack of …
