Abstract excerpt
Ycf1 and Acr3 are transporters that have been previously shown to protect Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells from the toxic effects of arsenite. Ycf1 and Acr3 are positively regulated by distinct, but related bZIP transcriptional activators, Yap1 and Yap8, respectively. In this study, we show that overexpression of Yap1 complemented the arsenite hypersensitivity of the ycf1 null mutant, but only if the ACR3 gene is...
