Abstrakt: ABSTRACTChitin in the cyst wall of Entamoeba histolyticais made by two chitin synthases (Chs), one of which is unique (EhCHS-1) and one of which resembles those of insects and nematodes (EhCHS-2). EhCHS-1 is deposited chitin in the lateral wall of transformed Saccharomyces cerevisiaeChs mutants, independent of accessory proteins (Chs4p to Chs7p) required by yeast Chs3p.
