Crh1 and Crh2 catalyze the transfer of chitin to both beta(1-3)- and beta(1-6)glucan in cell wall.
Title: Two novel techniques for determination of polysaccharide cross-links show that Crh1p and Crh2p attach chitin to both beta(1-6)- and beta(1-3)glucan in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall.
Crh1p and Crh2p act as transglycosylases in vivo and in vitro
Title: Assembly of the yeast cell wall. Crh1p and Crh2p act as transglycosylases in vivo and in vitro.
Study indicates that Crh1p and Crh2p, homologues of glycosyltransferases, ferry chitin chains from chitin synthase III to beta(1-6)glucan.
Title: Crh1p and Crh2p are required for the cross-linking of chitin to beta(1-6)glucan in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae cell wall.
