Abstract excerpt
Haploid cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae respond to mating pheromones with polarized growth toward the mating partner. This morphological response requires the function of the cell polarity establishment protein Bem1p. Immunochemical and two-hybrid protein interaction assays revealed that Bem1p interacts with two components of the pheromone-responsive mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade,...
