Echinocandin Drugs Induce Differential Effects in Cytokinesis Progression and Cell Integrity
Fission yeast contains three essential β(1,3)-D-glucan synthases (GSs), Bgs1, Bgs3, and Bgs4, with non-overlapping roles in cell integrity and morphogenesis. Only the <i>bgs4<sup>+</sup></i> mutants <i>pbr1-8</i> and <i>pbr1-6</i> exhibit resistance to...
