Abstract excerpt
The yeast AP-1-like transcription factor, Yap1p, is essential for the oxidative stress response in budding yeast. Yap1p is located predominantly in the cytoplasm; however, upon imposition of oxidative stress, Yap1p concentrates in the nucleus and activates target genes. Yap1p is constitutively transported in and out of the nucleus. Oxidative stress inhibits the Crm1p/Xpo1p-dependent nuclear export step, resulting...
