On the evolution of Neurospora crassa ACW-1 and NCW-3, proteins with different cell wall interaction mechanisms.
The fungal cell wall is populated with cell wall-resident glycoproteins (CWPs), mostly uncharacterized, that show an atypical evolutionary behavior. Most CWPs are glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) proteins, followed by proteins with internal repeats (PIR), and non-covalently attached proteins that harbor carbohydrate...
