The yeast cell wall is a strong, but elastic, structure that is essential not only for the
maintenance of cell shape and integrity, but also for progression through the cell cycle …

Small GTP-binding proteins (G proteins) exist in eukaryotes from yeast to human and
constitute a superfamily consisting of more than 100 members. This superfamily is …

Conformational diseases are caused by mutations altering the folding pathway or final
conformation of a protein. Many conformational diseases are caused by mutations in …

The cell wall of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an elastic structure that provides osmotic and
physical protection and determines the shape of the cell. The inner layer of the wall is largely …

The yeast cell wall is a highly dynamic structure that is responsible for protecting the cell
from rapid changes in external osmotic potential. The wall is also critical for cell expansion …

The chemical composition of many fungal cell walls is known, but we have not understood
the interactions of the various macromolecules nor the assembly processes. The …

An extracellular matrix composed of a layered meshwork of β-glucans, chitin, and
mannoproteins encapsulates cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This organelle …
