Abstract excerpt
PKA (protein kinase A) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe controls transcription of genes involved in metabolism, cell growth and sexual development. In the present review, we discuss phenotypes associated with either high or low PKA activity in the context of how they can be used to carry out genetic or small-molecule screens that affect components of the PKA pathway. Although our recent research has...
