Abstract excerpt
In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, complex sphingolipids have three types of polar head group, and breakdown of their normal composition causes several cellular dysfunctions. Previously we found that loss of biosynthesis of mannosylinositol phosphorylceramide (MIPC) causes a defect in cell wall integrity (CWI). In this study, we screened for multicopy suppressor genes that rescue the defect in CWI in cells...
