Description

Schizosaccharomyces japonicus is a dimorphic yeast, transiting between unicellular and hyphal growth. The glycoproteins of fission yeast contain, in addition to mannose (Man), a large number of galactose (Gal) residues. Previously, we reported that the cell-surface O-glycans of S. japonicus comprise mainly tri-saccharides (Gal-Man-Man) as a main component, in contrast to the tetra-saccharides observed in other Schizosaccharomyces species. Here we have investigated the function of cell-surface Gal residues in S. japonicus. Because disruption of gms1
