Abstract excerpt
Previously we have reported that Drc1p/Cps1p, a 1,3-beta-glucan synthase subunit, is essential for division septum assembly in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In this report, we present evidence that S. pombe Bgs2p, a 1,3-beta-glucan synthase that shows 56% identity to Drc1p/Cps1p, is essential for maturation of ascospore wall in S. pombe, but is not required for vegetative growth. Diploid cells homozygous for the...
