Characterization and behaviour of alpha-glucan synthase in Schizosaccharomyces pombe as revealed by electron microscopy.

Yeast (Chichester, England) - 15 Apr 2003

Konomi Mami, Fujimoto Kazushi, Toda Takashi, Osumi Masako

Abstract excerpt

Alpha-1,3-Glucan is a cell wall component in Schizosaccharomyces pombe and is exclusive to budding yeast. We analysed the ultrastructure of the cell wall in the alpha-glucan synthase mutant mok1 and determined the role of alpha-1,3-glucan in cell wall formation of Sz. pombe. The mok1 mutant cell has an abnormal shape, with swelling at the tip or at the site of the septum. The cell wall is thicker and looser than...
