Characterization of mutants devoid of neutral trehalase activity in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe: partial protection from heat shock and high-salt stress.

Abstract excerpt

Exposure of cells of Schizosaccharomyces pombe to heat shock or osmotic upshift results in an increased level of neutral trehalase activity, which is responsible for hydrolysis of intracellular trehalose. We constructed S. pombe mutants lacking neutral trehalase activity by gene replacement at th...
