The yeast cell-wall salvage pathway

Popolo, L., Gualtieri, T., Ragni, E.·2001·Medical Mycology

Abstract

The integrity of the cell wall depends on the synthesis and correct assembly of its individual components. Several environmental factors, such as temperature up-shift, treatments with mating factors or with specific cell wall-perturbing drugs, or genetic factors, such as inactivation of cell wall-related genes (for example FKS1 or GAS1) can impair construction of the cell wall. As the cell wall is essential for preserving the osmotic integrity of the cell, several responses are triggered in response to cell-wall damage. This review focuses on the activation of salvage pathways that guarantee cell survival through remodeling of the extracellular matrix. These researches have useful implication for the study of similar pathways in human fungal pathogens, and for the evaluation of the efficacy of new antifungal drugs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
