TL;DR: Unified criteria for the definition of accidental, regulated, and programmed forms of cell death in yeast based on a series of morphological and biochemical criteria are proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The antifungal plant defensin RsAFP2 from radish induces apoptosis in a metacaspase independent way in Candida albicans
An M. Aerts,Didac Carmona-Gutierrez,Sophie D. Lefevre,Gilmer Govaert,Isabelle E.J.A. François,Frank Madeo,Renata Santos,Bruno P. A. Cammue,Karin Thevissen +8 more
TL;DR: The data point to the existence of at least two different types of caspases or caspase‐like proteases in C. albicans, the first report on the induction of apoptosis with concomitant casp enzyme activation by a defensin in this pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combining Biocontrol Agents with Chemical Fungicides for Integrated Plant Fungal Disease Control
TL;DR: An integrated approach combining BCAs with fungicides, which is the focus of this review, is put forward as a way to reduce the fungicide doses to manage plant diseases and thereby their residue on harvested crops.
Journal ArticleDOI
The plant defensin RsAFP2 induces cell wall stress, septin mislocalization and accumulation of ceramides in Candida albicans
Karin Thevissen,Patricia M. Tavares,Deming Xu,Jill R. Blankenship,Davy Vandenbosch,Jolanta Idkowiak-Baldys,Gilmer Govaert,Anna Bink,Sonia Rozental,Piet W. J. de Groot,Talya R. Davis,Carol A. Kumamoto,Gabriele Vargas,Leonardo Nimrichter,Tom Coenye,Aaron P. Mitchell,Terry Roemer,Yusuf A. Hannun,Bruno P. A. Cammue +18 more
TL;DR: This is the first report on the interaction of a plantdefensin with glucosylceramides in the fungal cell wall, causing cell wall stress, and on the effects of a defensin on septin localization and ceramide accumulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
DmAMP1, an antifungal plant defensin from dahlia (Dahlia merckii), interacts with sphingolipids from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Karin Thevissen,Isabelle E.J.A. François,Jon Y. Takemoto,Kathelijne K.A. Ferket,Els M.K. Meert,Bruno P. A. Cammue +5 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DmAMP1 interacts directly with sphingolipids isolated from S. cerevisiae and that this interaction is enhanced in the presence of equimolar concentrations of ergosterol.
