A Glucan Synthase-Remodeler Module Organizes Branched Glucan Assembly in the Fungal Cell Wall

Alaina H. Willet, Anand Jacob, Lesley Ann Turner…·Kathleen L. Gould

This study identifies Ghs2 as a binding partner of Bgs3 in fission yeast, showing they co-localize and work together to synthesize and branch β-1,3-glucan in the fungal cell wall.

Solid-State NMR Analysis of Schizosaccharomyces pombe Reveals Role of α-Amylase Family Enzymes in Cell Wall Structure and Function

Anand Jacob, Alaina H. Willet, Maya G. Igarashi…·Kathleen L. Gould

This paper uses solid-state NMR to study the role of α-amylase family enzymes in S. pombe cell wall structure and function, revealing their non-redundant role with glucan synthase in cell wall synthesis.
