Abstract excerpt
An essential epsilon-subunit of oligosaccharyltransferase Ost2 is a yeast homolog of mammalian highly conserved DAD1 (defender against apoptotic death). In hamster cells, the Gly38Arg mutation in DAD1 causes apoptosis at restrictive temperatures due to a defect in N-linked glycosylation. To analyze the function of Ost2 in yeast cell death, we constructed Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains expressing Gly58Arg...
