Binding Chitin
In yeast, chitin is laid down at three locations in the cell wall during the cell cycle: in a ring at the mother-bud neck, in the partition that forms between mother and daughter cells at cytokinesis, and in the cell wall of the daughter cell. Chitin is bound to the cell wall structure by two types of linkages: to the non-reducing end of (1–3)glucan and to side chains of (1–6)glucan. Enrico Cabib and Angel Durán hypothesized that the chitin in the ring at the mother-daughter neck might be linked differently from the chitin that dispersed throughout the cell wall.
