Abstract excerpt
The PBS2 gene encodes a MAP kinase kinase that plays a pivotal role in osmosensing signal-transduction pathway in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Mutation in the PBS2 gene has a pleotropic effect. Besides being osmosensitive, pbs2 mutants show altered sensitivity to polymyxin B and calcofluor. Recent studies revealed that Pbs2p plays a different role in osmoadaptation and calcofluor sensitivity. We have...
