RGD-mediated adhesion in fungal pathogens of humans, plants and insects.

Progress in the understanding of fungal adhesion has led to the identification of novel proteins recognizing the RGD tripeptide in matrix proteins and to the characterization of what appears to be an emerging subset of fungal adhesins that themselves contain an RGD sequence.
