Ectopic overproduction of cell wall glucan through membrane perturbation by an antifungal peptide theonellamide A in fission yeast

Kensuke Nakao, Vanessa S. D. Carvalho, Akifumi Suganaga…·Shinichi Nishimura

This study shows that the antifungal peptide TNM-A causes ectopic overproduction of cell wall glucan in fission yeast by altering Cdc42 activation and glucan synthase localization.

Glutathione acts as an exometabolite that rescues functionally distinct genetic mutations in fission yeast

Ryotaro Yoshizumi, Shunichi Miura, Hiroaki Matoba…·Shinichi Nishimura

This study identifies glutathione as an exometabolite that rescues growth and morphology defects in fission yeast mutants through both nutritional and non-nutritional mechanisms.
