Abstract excerpt
Ssy5 is a signaling endoprotease that plays a key role in regulating central metabolism, cellular aging, and morphological transitions important for growth and survival of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) cells. In response to extracellular amino acids, Ssy5 proteolytically activates the transcription factors Stp1 and Stp2, leading to enhanced Ssy1-Ptr3-Ssy5 (SPS) sensor-regulated gene expression. Ssy5 comprises...
