Individual chitin synthase enzymes synthesize microfibrils of differing structure at specific locations in the Candida albicans cell wall
The shape and integrity of fungal cells is dependent on the skeletal polysaccharides in their cell walls of which β(1,3)-glucan and chitin are of principle importance. The human pathogenic fungus Candida albicans has four genes, CHS1, CHS2, CHS3 and CHS8, which encode chitin synthase isoenzymes with...
