Modulators of MAPK pathway activity during filamentous growth in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Abstract:Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways control the response to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cells undergo filamentous growth, which is regulated by the fMAPK pathway. To better understand the regulation of the fMAPK pathway, a genetic screen was performed to identify spontaneous mutants with elevated activity of an fMAPK-pathway dependent growth reporter (ste4 FUS1-HIS3). In total, 159 mutants were isolated and analyzed by secondary screens for invas… Show more
“…Glucose or nitrogen limitation turns on the fMAPK pathway and activates Kss1, a downstream Ser/Thr MAPK ( 83 , 84 ). The TOR pathway, as the name suggests, is inhibited by rapamycin and induced by nitrogen sources ( 85 ).…”

“…Intersections and cross-talk between these pathways and with other signaling networks in the cell are well established. For example, fMAPK is only one of at least three intersecting MAPK pathways, the other two being the pheromone-responsive mating MAPK and the osmotic stress responsive high-osmolarity glycerol 1 (Hog1) pathways ( 84 ). Similarly, Ras2 feeds into the fMAPK as well as the cAMP/PKA pathway ( 88 ).…”

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.
