Abstract excerpt
The pheromone response pathway of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is initiated in MATa cells by binding of alpha-factor to the alpha-factor receptor. MATa cells in which the a-factor receptor is inappropriately expressed exhibit reduced pheromone signaling, a phenomenon termed receptor inhibition. In cells undergoing receptor inhibition, activation of the signaling pathway occurs normally at early time points...
