In the budding yeastSaccharomyces cerevisiae, Svl3 and Pam1 proteins work as functional homologues. Loss of their function causes increased levels of chitin deposition in the cell wall and temperature sensitivity, suggesting their involvement in cell wall formation. We found that the N‐ and C‐termini of these proteins have distinctive and critical functions. They contain an N‐terminal part that has a probable 2‐dehydropantoate 2‐reductase domain. In Svl3, this part can be replaced with the yeast 2‐dehydropantoate 2‐reductase, Pan5, suggesting that Svl3 and its homologues may be able to mediate 2‐dehydropantoate 2‐reductase function. On the other hand, Svl3 is recruited to the bud tip and bud neck via multiple localization signals in the C‐terminal part. One of such signals is the lysine‐rich region located in the C‐terminal end. The function and localization of Svl3 are significantly disrupted by the loss of this lysine‐rich region; however, its localization is not completely abolished by the mutation because another localization signal enables appropriate transport. Svl3 and Pam1 orthologues are found in cells across fungal species. The Svl3 orthologues ofCandida glabratacan complement the loss of Svl3 and Pam1 inS. cerevisiae.C. glabratacells lacking theSVL3andPAM1orthologue genes exhibit phenotypes similar to those observed insvl3∆pam1∆ S. cerevisiaecells. Thus, Svl3 homologues may be generally required for the assembly of the cell wall in fungal cells.
