Abstract excerpt
The cell wall and stress response component (Wsc) protein family in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is encoded by at least three genes, WSC1, WSC2, and WSC3. The Wsc proteins are putative upstream activators of the RHO1-regulated PKC1-MAP kinase cascade, and are required for maintenance of cell wall integrity and the stress response. Deletion of WSC1 causes a cell lysis defect that is exacerbated by deleting...
