Aegerolysins are remarkable proteins. They are distributed over the tree of life, being
relatively widespread in bacteria and fungi, but also present in some insects, plants …

The lipid raft hypothesis emerged as a need to explain the lateral organization and behavior
of lipids in the environment of biological membranes. The idea, that lipids segregate in …

Ribotoxin-like proteins (RL-Ps) represent a novel specific ribonuclease family found in
edible mushrooms and are able to inhibit protein synthesis. Here, we report the …

Ostreolysin A6 (OlyA6) is a protein produced by the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus).
It binds to membrane sphingomyelin/cholesterol domains, and together with its protein …

Protein complexes from edible oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus sp.) composed of pleurotolysin
A2 (PlyA2) and pleurotolysin B (PlyB) exert toxicity in feeding tests against Colorado potato …

Ostreolysin A6 (OlyA6) is a 15 kDa protein produced by the oyster mushroom (Pleurotus
ostreatus). It belongs to the aegerolysin family of proteins and binds with high affinity to the …

Small-scale farming of edible insects could help combat public health challenges such as
protein energy malnutrition and anemia, but reliable low-cost feeds for insects are needed …

Periodontal disease is a chronic oral inflammatory disorder initiated by pathobiontic bacteria
found in dental plaques—complex biofilms on the tooth surface. The disease begins as an …

An aegerolysin protein ostreolysin A6 (OlyA6) binds to cholesterol-complexed
sphingomyelin and can be used for specific labelling of lipid rafts. In addition, OlyA6 …

Fruiting bodies (sporocarps, sporophores or basidiomata) of mushroom-forming fungi
(Agaricomycetes) are among the most complex structures produced by fungi. Unlike …
