The fungal pathogen Candida albicans is a leading causative agent of death in immunocompromised individuals. Many factors have been implicated virulence including filamentation-inducing transcription factors, adhesins, lipases and proteases. these are glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored cell surface antigenic determinant proteins. Pga1 one such protein shown to be upregulated during wall regeneration. purpose this study was characterise the role plays by creating homozygous pga1 null...

The fungal pathogen Candida albicans is one of the leading causative agents death in immunocompromised individuals. It harbors an arsenal cell wall anchored factors that are implicated virulence such as filamentation inducing factors, adhesins, lipases, proteases, and superoxide dismutases. Dse1 a protein involved metabolism. purpose this study to characterize role plays virulence. appears be essential gene no homozygous null mutant was possible. heterozygote exhibited increased...

Prochlorococcus, a cyanobacteria genus of the smallest and most abundant oceanic phototrophs, encompasses ecotype strains adapted to high-light (HL) low-light (LL) niches. To elucidate adaptive evolution this genus, we analyzed 40 Prochlorococcus marinus ORFeomes, including two cornerstone strains, MED4 NATL1A. Employing deep learning with robust statistical methods, detected new protein family distributions in identified key genes differentiating HL LL strains. harbor (ABC-2 transporters)...

Abstract The extended persistence of filarial nematodes within a host suggests immunomodulatory mechanisms that allow the parasites to resist or evade immune response. There is increasing evidence for glycans expressed by diversity parasitic worms. In this study, we integrate multiple layers host-parasite interface investigate glycome model parasite, Brugia malayi . We report significant overrepresentation terminal GalNAc moieties in adult female worms coupled with an overall upregulation...
