  1. Cell wall-associated proteins were extracted from C. parapsilosis and C. tropicalis pseudohyphae, using either β-1,3-glucanase (+β-mercaptoethanol) or β-1,6-glucanase. Subsets of ECMP-binding proteins were isolated from the whole cell wall protein mixtures, using affinity chromatography (AFC) or cross-linking (CL) methods. After SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, specific protein bands were excised and digested using trypsin. Peptides were analyzed using the UltiMate 3000 RSLCnano System coupled to a micrOTOF-QII mass spectrometer and Apollo Source ESI nano-sprayer (for AFC-isolated proteins) or an Dionex Ultimate 3000 UHPLC system coupled to an HCT Ultra ETDII mass spectrometer equipped with an ESI ion source (for CL-isolated proteins). The obtained lists of peaks were searched against the NCBI protein database using an in-house Mascot server. The data represent a combination of results obtained for the extracts of cell wall-associated proteins, prepared from three independent yeast cultures. For a given extraction method (β-1,3-glucanase vs. β-1,6-glucanase) and ECMP-binder isolation method (AFC vs. CL), only those proteins are listed that were found on the analysis of all three yeast cultures. Hence, each “+” sign means that a given protein was found at least three times. The best Mascot parameters (scores, number of identified peptides and sequence coverage) ever recorded for a given protein are specified; the proteins identified with a score > 70 and a number of identified peptides ≥ 2 are only listed
