A mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae defective in the cell wall beta-glucan structure was obtained. The mutant cells are extremely sensitive to (beta 1-3)-glucanase digestion and mild alkali treatment. Structural analysis revealed that the alkali-insoluble, skeletal glucan from wild type cells contains two components, a (beta 1-3) linked glucan with a laminated structure, and a highly branched glucan containing predominantly (beta 1-6) linkages. The mutant cells lack the latter component.
获得了一种细胞壁β-葡聚糖结构有缺陷的酿酒酵母突变体。该突变体细胞对(β1-3)-葡聚糖酶消化和温和碱处理极为敏感。结构分析表明,野生型细胞的碱不溶性骨架葡聚糖包含两种成分,一种具有层状结构的(β1-3)连接的葡聚糖,以及一种主要含有(β1-6)连接的高度分支的葡聚糖。突变体细胞缺乏后一种成分。
