Proteolytic processing of fungal and insect proteins involved in chitin synthesis

In this thesis the regulation of chitin synthases by proteolytic activation has been analyzed in yeast and insects. It was shown that the solubilized chitin synthase 2 of Manduca sexta (MsChs2) is an oligomeric complex of about 10 nm in diameter. In contrast to MsChs2 in membrane fractions, it can b...
