Endochitinase; required for cell separation after mitosis; transcriptional activation during the G1 phase of the cell cycle is mediated by transcription factor Ace2p.

Putative chitinase; functionally complements A. gossypii cts2 mutant sporulation defect.

Chitin synthase I; requires activation from zymogenic form in order to catalyze the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to chitin; required for repairing the chitin septum during cytokinesis; transcription activated by mating factor.

Chitin synthase II; catalyzes transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to chitin upon activation of zymogenic form; required for chitin synthesis in the primary septum during cytokinesis; localization regulated by Cdk1p during mitosis; phosphorylation by Dbf2p kinase regulates its dynamics and chitin synthesis during cytokinesis.

Chitin synthase III; catalyzes the transfer of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) to chitin; required for synthesis of the majority of cell wall chitin, the chitin ring during bud emergence, and spore wall chitosan; contains overlapping di-leucine and di-acidic signals that mediate, respectively, intracellular trafficking by AP-1 and trafficking to plasma membrane by exomer complex; requires AP-3 complex for its intracellular retention.

G protein beta subunit; forms a dimer with Ste18p to activate mating signaling pathway, forms heterotrimer with Gpa1p and Ste18p to dampen signaling; pheromone-induced phosphorylation plays critical role in chemotropism; may recruit Rho1p to polarized growth site during mating; contains WD40 repeats.

Chitin synthase export chaperone; Protein of unknown function; may be involved in chitin biosynthesis by regulation of Chs3p export from the ER; relocalizes from bud neck to ER upon DNA replication stress.

Protein involved in outer spore wall assembly; likely involved directly in dityrosine layer assembly; induced during sporulation; repressed during vegetative growth by Sum1p and Hst1p; sequence similar to adjacent ORF, IRC18/YJL037W, and the irc18 loh1 double mutant exhibits reduced dityrosine fluorescence relative to the single mutants; SWAT-GFP and mCherry fusion proteins localize to the cytosol; proposed role in maintenance of genome integrity.

Transcription factor CSR2; Nuclear ubiquitin protein ligase binding protein; may regulate utilization of nonfermentable carbon sources and endocytosis of plasma membrane proteins; overproduction suppresses chs5 spa2 lethality at high temp; ubiquitinated by Rsp5p, deubiquitinated by Ubp2p; CSR2 has a paralog, ECM21, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
