RESUMO
Binding of yeast killer toxin KT28 to its primary cell wall receptor was specifically blocked with polyclonal antimannoprotein antibodies which masked all toxin-binding sites on the surface of sensitive yeast cells. By indirect immunofluorescence, it was shown that KT28 binds to the cell wall mannoprotein and that the toxin resistance of mannoprotein mutants (mnn) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was due to a lack of killer toxin-binding sites within the yeast cell wall. Structural analysis of acetylated mannoprotein from KT28-resistant mutant strains identified the outer mannotriose side chains as the actual killer toxin-binding domains.
