Moonlighting proteins are defined as proteins with two or more functions that are unrelated
and independent to each other, so that inactivation of one of them should not affect the …

Interactions of human pathogenic fungi with the host tissues are key factors in the
pathogenesis of mycoses. Based on the concept that adherence of microorganisms is a …

The root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita, is an obligate parasite that causes
significant damage to a broad range of host plants. Infection is associated with secretion of …

Microorganisms release effector molecules that modulate the host machinery enabling
survival, replication, and dissemination of a pathogen. Here we characterized the …

The Lacticaseibacillus paracasei species is comprised by nomadic bacteria inhabiting a
wide variety of ecological niches, from fermented foodstuffs to host-associated …

Moonlighting proteins comprise a subset of multifunctional proteins that perform two or more
biochemical functions that are not due to gene fusions, multiple splice variants, proteolytic …

Introduction While we lack a complete understanding of the molecular mechanisms by which
parasites establish and achieve protection from host immune responses, it is accepted that …

Paracoccidioides brasiliensis and P. lutzii are etiologic agents of paracoccidioidomycosis
(PCM), an important endemic mycosis in Latin America. During its evolution, these fungi …

Classic cell wall components of fungi comprise the polysaccharides glucans and chitin, in
association with glycoproteins and pigments. During the last decade, however, system …

An efficient oxidative stress response is important to the fungal pathogen Paracoccidioides
to survive within the human host. In this study, oxidative stress was mimicked by exposure of …
