Description | This entry includes a group of cell wall synthesis proteins, such as Knh1 and Kre9 from budding yeasts, involved in cell wall beta 1,6-glucan synthesis. Kre9 is involved involved in cell wall beta-glucan assembly [ ]. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a kre9 null mutation has been shown to lead to severe growth defects, aberrant multi-budded morphology, and mating defects [, ]. Over-expression of Knh1 suppresses growth defects of a kre9 null mutant []. Moreover, Knh1 is required for propionic acid resistance []. | Name | Yeast cell wall synthesis Kre9/Knh1 |
