Abstract excerpt
The FUS3 and KSS1 kinases are components of the pheromone-dependent signal transduction pathway in yeast. We show that FUS3 and KSS1 become rapidly phosphorylated after pheromone treatment. Similar to mammalian MAP kinases, this modification occurs at two amino acids of FUS3, threonine-180 and tyrosine-182. A mutation introduced at either position results in complete loss of function in vivo. Amino acid...
