Abstract excerpt
The human fungal pathogen Candida albicans responds to stress by phosphorylation of the Hog1 MAP kinase. PBS2 was cloned and shown to encode the MAP kinase kinase that is involved in this activation, as determined by immunoblot analyses using antibodies that recognize the active form of the target Hog1 protein. Characterization of pbs2 mutants revealed that they were sensitive to both osmotic and oxidative stress...
