Fig1p facilitates Ca2+ influx and cell fusion during mating of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 3 Oct 2003

Muller Eric M, Mackin Nancy A, Erdman Scott E, Cunningham Kyle W

Abstract excerpt

During the mating process of yeast cells, two Ca2+ influx pathways become activated. The resulting elevation of cytosolic free Ca2+ activates downstream signaling factors that promote long term survival of unmated cells, but the roles of Ca2+ in conjugation have not been described. The high affinity Ca2+ influx system is composed of Cch1p and Mid1p and sensitive to feedback inhibition by calcineurin, a...
