Abstract excerpt
The main filamentous structural component of the cell wall of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is 1,3-beta-glucan, which is synthesized by a plasma membrane-localized enzyme called 1,3-beta-glucan synthase (GS). Here we analyzed the quantitative cell morphology and biochemical properties of 10 different temperature-sensitive mutants of FKS1, a putative catalytic subunit of GS. To untangle their pleiotropic...
