Heterologous expression of an Entamoeba histolytica chitin synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Eukaryotic cell - 1 Jan 2006

Van Dellen Katrina L, Bulik Dorota A, Specht Charles A, Robbins Phillips W, Samuelson John C

Abstract excerpt

Chitin in the cyst wall of Entamoeba histolytica is made by two chitin synthases (Chs), one of which is unique (EhCHS-1) and one of which resembles those of insects and nematodes (EhCHS-2). EhCHS-1 is deposited chitin in the lateral wall of transformed Saccharomyces cerevisiae Chs mutants, independent of accessory proteins (Chs4p to Chs7p) required by yeast Chs3p.
