Abstract excerpt
In Schizosaccharomyces pombe, recent studies have uncovered a set of putative transcription factors of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) type (e.g., Atf1, Pcr1, Pap1), which function downstream of the Sty1 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade which is involved in stress-activated signal transduction. Accordingly, a delta atf1 mutant is known to exhibit osmosensitivity for growth, since one of the targets...
