This study identifies Ghs2 as a binding partner of Bgs3 in fission yeast, showing they co-localize and work together to synthesize and branch β-1,3-glucan in the fungal cell wall.

This paper uses solid-state NMR to study the role of α-amylase family enzymes in S. pombe cell wall structure and function, revealing their non-redundant role with glucan synthase in cell wall synthesis.

This study shows Pik1 in fission yeast localizes to the trans-Golgi and contributes to PI4P synthesis but not cytokinesis.
