Pheromone-induced polarization is dependent on the Fus3p MAPK acting through the formin Bni1p.

The Journal of cell biology - 1 Apr 2004

Abstract excerpt

During mating, budding yeast cells reorient growth toward the highest concentration of pheromone. Bni1p, a formin homologue, is required for this polarized growth by facilitating cortical actin cable assembly. Fus3p, a pheromone-activated MAP kinase, is required for pheromone signaling and cell fusion. We show that Fus3p phosphorylates Bni1p in vitro, and phosphorylation of Bni1p in vivo during the pheromone...
