Characterization of CHS4 (CAL2), a gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae involved in chitin biosynthesis and allelic to SKT5 and CSD4.

Yeast (Chichester, England) - 1 Jul 1997

Trilla J A, Cos T, Duran A, Roncero C

Abstract excerpt

We have cloned CHS4, a gene that complements the resistance to Calcofluor of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cal2 mutant. We show that CHS4 is allelic to the previously described SKT5 and CSD4 genes. CHS4 encodes a 696 amino acids protein with no potential transmembrane domain. chs4-null mutants are resistant to Calcofluor white and exhibit a considerable reduction in cell wall chitin and in chitin synthase III...
