Ectopic overproduction of cell wall glucan through membrane perturbation by an antifungal peptide theonellamide A in fission yeast

Kensuke Nakao, Vanessa S. D. Carvalho, Akifumi Suganaga…·Shinichi Nishimura

This study shows that the antifungal peptide TNM-A causes ectopic overproduction of cell wall glucan in fission yeast by altering Cdc42 activation and glucan synthase localization.
