Abstract excerpt
Gis4 is a new component of the system required for acquisition of salt tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The gis4Delta mutant is sensitive to Na(+) and Li(+) ions but not to osmotic stress. Genetic evidence suggests that Gis4 mediates its function in salt tolerance, at least partly, together with the Snf1 protein kinase and in parallel with the calcineurin protein phosphatase. When exposed to salt stress,...
