Abstract:Chitin and β-1,3-glucan are known to play an important role in determination of fungal cell wall rigidity in Saccharomyces cerevisiae 1 . Three chitin synthases participate in yeast chitin synthesis. ChS1p functions as a reparation enzyme after cell division 2 , ChS2p is responsible for the synthesis of primary septum 3,4 and ChS3p synthesizes chitin in the lateral wall and in the ring at the base of future septum 4 . All of the enzymes are supposed to be cell cycle regulated and expression of CHS3 was describ… Show more
