Abstract excerpt
Loss of function of Cin8p (a yeast kinesin-like motor protein) in the absence of either Kip1p (a motor of the same family) or Dyn1p (the dynein heavy chain) is lethal. We report that cin8 mutants are sensitive to the cell wall disrupting agents calcofluor white and SDS. Conditionally lethal double mutants containing the temperature sensitive allele cin8-3 in a background deletion of either kip1 or dyn1 grew...
