Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the polysaccharide chitin forms the primary division septum between mother cell and bud. Two related enzymes, chitin synthase I and chitin synthase II (UDP-acetamido-2-deoxy-D-glucose:chitin 4-beta-acetamidodeoxyglucosyltransferase, EC 2.4.1.16), have been identified and their structural genes, CHS1 and CHS2, respectively, have been cloned and sequenced. Gene disruption experiments...
