Abstract excerpt
We have found that yeast mutants that are defective in mannose outer chain elongation of N-linked glycoproteins show higher cell wall porosity than normal cells, and are hypersensitive to antibiotics with a large molecular weight; such as neomycin and geneticin. Wild-type yeast cells also showed enhanced sensitivity to neomycin in the presence of tunicamycin, an inhibitor of N-glycosylation, suggesting that the...
