Abstract excerpt
In a screen for cell wall defects in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we isolated a strain carrying a mutation in the Cdc28-activating kinase CAK1. The cak1P212S mutant cells exhibit multiple, elongated and branched buds, beta(1,3)glucan-poor regions of the cell periphery and lysed upon osmotic shock after treatment with the chitin synthase III inhibitor Nikkomycin Z. Ultrastructural examination of cak1P212S mutants...
