Different techniques released from the wall of Candida albicans mycelial cells high molecular weight mannoprotein materials with different levels of complexity. SDS solubilized among others one protein of 180 kDa which reacted with a monoclonal antibody (MAb) specific of a O-glycosylated protein secreted by regenerating mycelial protoplasts [Elorza et al. (1989) Biochem Biophys Res Commun 162:1118-1125]. Zymolyase, chitinase and beta-mercaptoethanol, released different types of high molecular highly polydisperse mannoprotein materials (greater than 180 kDa) that also reacted with the same MAb. These materials had N-glycosidically linked sugar chains, in addition to the O-glycosidically bonded sugars, as their molecular masses were significantly reduced by Endo H digestion. Besides, the specific materials released by either zymolyase or chitinase seemed to be the same throughout the process of germ tube formation. Transmission electron microscopy of thin sections of cells and walls showed that mannoproteins and chitin are evenly distributed throughout the entire cell wall structure.
