Moonlighting Proteins: Diverse Functions Found in Fungi

Moonlighting proteins combine multiple functions in one polypeptide chain. An increasing number of moonlighting proteins are being found in diverse fungal taxa that vary in morphology, life cycle, and ecological niche. In this mini-review we discuss examples of moonlighting proteins in fungi that il...

Sumario:Moonlighting proteins combine multiple functions in one polypeptide chain. An increasing number of moonlighting proteins are being found in diverse fungal taxa that vary in morphology, life cycle, and ecological niche. In this mini-review we discuss examples of moonlighting proteins in fungi that illustrate their roles in transcription and DNA metabolism, translation and RNA metabolism, protein folding, and regulation of protein function, and their interaction with other cell types and host proteins.
