Abstract Background Hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) is an important signaling compound that
has recently been identified as a new substrate for several members of the aquaporin …

The ability to adapt to altered availability of free water is a fundamental property of living
cells. The principles underlying osmoadaptation are well conserved. The yeast …

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) belongs to the reactive oxygen species (ROS), known as
oxidants that can react with various cellular targets thereby causing cell damage or even cell …

SUMMARY A cascade of three protein kinases known as a mitogen-activated protein kinase
(MAPK) cascade is commonly found as part of the signaling pathways in eukaryotic cells …

Microbial production of glycerol has been known for 150 years, and glycerol was produced
commercially during World War I. Glycerol production by microbial synthesis subsequently …

There is huge variability among yeasts with regard to their efficiency in utilizing glycerol as
the sole source of carbon and energy. Certain species show growth rates with glycerol …

A fully compartmentalized genome-scale metabolic model of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that
accounts for 750 genes and their associated transcripts, proteins, and reactions has been …

The accumulation of compatible solutes, such as glycerol, in the yeast Saccharomyces
cerevisiae, is a ubiquitous mechanism in cellular osmoregulation. Here, we demonstrate that …

Over the last decade, considerable advances have occurred in understanding the molecular
biology and biophysics of water permeation across plant membranes and tissues. Spurred …

The Saccharomyces cerevisiae FPS1 gene encodes a glycerol channel protein involved in
osmoregulation. We present evidence that Fps1p mediates influx of the trivalent metalloids …
