Journal ArticleDOI
Sed1p Is a Major Cell Wall Protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in the Stationary Phase and Is Involved in Lytic Enzyme Resistance
TL;DR: Results indicate that Sed1p is a major structural cell wall protein in stationary-phase cells and is required for lytic enzyme resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystal Structure of Aminopeptidase N (Proteobacteria Alanyl Aminopeptidase) from Escherichia coli and Conformational Change of Methionine 260 Involved in Substrate Recognition
Kiyoshi Ito,Yoshitaka Nakajima,Yuko Onohara,Masahide Takeo,Kanako Nakashima,Futoshi Matsubara,Takashi Ito,Tadashi Yoshimoto +7 more
TL;DR: A difference revealed between the ligand-free form and the enzyme-bestatin complex indicated that Met260 functions as a cushion to accept substrates with different N-terminal residue sizes, resulting in the broad substrate specificity of this enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Two homologous genes, DCW1 (YKL046c) and DFG5, are essential for cell growth and encode glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored membrane proteins required for cell wall biogenesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
TL;DR: Biochemical analyses showed that epitope‐tagged Dcw1p is an N‐glycosylated, GPI‐anchored membrane protein and is localized in the membrane fraction including the cell surface, which suggest that both DcW1p and Dfg5p are G PI‐anchoring membrane proteins and are required for normal biosynthesis of the cell wall.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tolerance Mechanism of the Ethanol-Tolerant Mutant of Sake Yeast
TL;DR: Results indicate that the ethanol-tolerant mutant exhibits multiple stress tolerance because of elevated expression of stress-responsive genes, resulting in accumulation of stress protective substances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Purification and Properties of Acid Stable Xylanases from Aspergillus kawachii
TL;DR: Five extracellular endo-xylanases were recognized in the culture broth of shochu koji mold (Aspergillus kawachii, IFO 4308), and three major xylanases (XylA, XylB, and XylC) were purified and characterized and found to be greatly different in their properties.
