Abstract:In the filamentous fungus Neuropora crassa, the Osmotically Sensitive (OS) signal transduction pathway is rhythmically activated and functions as an output pathway from the circadian clock. This conserved fungal pathway is composed of a sensory phosphorelay coupled to a mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascade. Our goal is to define the mechanism utilized by the FREQUENCY/WHITE COLLAR (FRQ/WCC) circadian oscillator to mediate rhythmicity of OS pathway activity that subsequently affects transcription of … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
