Although the cell wall is very important in yeasts, relatively little is known about the relationship between its structure and function. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a family of 55 transcription factor proteins unique to fungi, so-called zinc cluster proteins, has been described. Of these, Rds2 has been identified as an activator/inhibitor of gluconeogenesis. However, previous studies have pointed out additional roles for this protein, specifically, in the modulation of cell-wall architecture and drug sensitivity. In this work, evidence regarding the role of Rds2 as a regulator of cell-wall architecture and composition is presented based on phenotypical analysis of the cell walls prepared from a S. cerevisiae Rds2 mutant strain. Analyses of the sensitivity of this rds2Delta mutant to different drugs and to osmotic stress showed that Rds2 is indeed involved in the drug-sensitivity response and plays a role in determining osmotic sensitivity.
