Effect of heat stress of the cell wall of the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae : phosphorylation of ribosomal protein S10-B brought about by enzymes of the glycolytic pathways

The cell wall is a dynamic and elastic structure that provides osmotic and physical protection to the yeast cell (l). As such, it forms the immediate site of contact between the yeast cell and its environment (2), and is essential for maintaining cell integrity and shape. Cell growth and development demand that the cell wall is not rigid and unchangeable as the cell needs to adjust the wall composition and structure during growth and development stages such as morphogenesis, flocculation, cell-cell recognition and pathogenicity, and in response to changes in environmental conditions (l, 2, 3, 4).
