Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Beta-1,6-glucan is an essential cell wall component of the budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the details of the beta-1,6-glucan biosynthetic pathway remain largely unknown. We analyzed biochemically the functions of Kre5, Kre6 and Kre9, which have important roles in the beta-1,6-glucan biosynthesis, and obtained findings regarding their functions and protein- protein interactions. These findings will pave the way for the discovery of the new antifungal reagents.
