Wall Components

Following synthesis of its individual components, the cell wall of Candida albicans is assembled extracellularly in two steps. First, a viscoelastic composite is formed by noncovalent interactions between mannoproteins and other wall components. Second, the initial network is consolidated by formation of covalent cross-linkages among the wall polymers. In both processes, specific proteins may regulate the final yeast or mycelial morphology. These proteins might carry out part of what could be called a morphogenetic code. Experimental results have shown that some mannoproteins form supramolecular complexes. They are secreted independently, but released together from cell walls by hydrolases. In C. albicans cell walls a transglutaminase activity has been detected that could be responsible for the formation of covalent bonds between structural proteins. Key words: fungal cell wall, construction, morphogenesis, protein interactions, noncovalent linkages, covalent linkages.

Fungal Cell Walls

Infrared spectroscopy is assessed as a technique for identifying polymers derived from fungal cell walls, both as isolated materials and in mixtures with one another. The technique is then applied to a study of the composition of fungal cell walls and the conclusion reached that infrared spectra provide a rapid and valuable indication of the major components of such walls. They can also be used to follow the effect of chemical treatments designed to separate major wall components.
