Killer-toxin-resistant kre12 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: genetic and biochemical evidence for a secondary K1 membrane receptor.

Archives of microbiology - 1 Dec 1995

Abstract excerpt

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae killer toxin K1 is a secreted alpha/beta-heterodimeric protein toxin that kills sensitive yeast cells in a receptor-mediated two-stage process. The first step involves toxin binding to beta-1,6-D-glucan-components of the outer yeast cell surface; this step is blocked...
