Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells lacking the regulatory subunit of casein kinase 2 (CK-2), encoded by the gene CKB1, display a phenotype of hypersensitivity to Na(+) and Li(+) cations. The sensitivity of a strain lacking ckb1 is higher than that of a calcineurin mutant and similar to that of a strain lacking HAL3, the regulatory subunit of the Ppz1 protein phosphatase. Genetic analysis indicated that Ckb1...
