Abstract excerpt

Killer toxin K1 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae kills sensitive cells of the same species by disturbing the ion gradient across the plasma membrane after binding to the receptor at cell wall beta-1,6-glucan. Killer protein K2 is assumed to act by a similar mechanism. To identify the putative plasma membrane receptors for both toxins we mutagenized three sensitive S. cerevisiae strains and searched for clones with...
