Functional differentiation of chitin synthases in Yarrowia lipolytica.

Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry - 1 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we identified seven chitin synthase-encoding genes in the genome of the dimorphic yeast Yarrowia lipolytica. Three encoded chitin synthases with myosin motor-like domains at their N-termini, and we designated these CSM1 to CSM3, whereas four were identified as CHS1 to CHS4. To investigate the functions of these seven genes, we constructed and characterized their deletion mutants. The chs2Δ mutant...
