A common need for microbial cells is the ability to respond to potentially toxic environmental
insults. Here we review the progress in understanding the response of the yeast …

All aerobically growing organisms suffer exposure to oxidative stress, caused by partially
reduced forms of molecular oxygen, known as reactive oxygen species (ROS). These are …

The Yap1 transcription factor regulates hydroperoxide homeostasis in S. cerevisiae. Yap1 is
activated by oxidation when hydroperoxide levels increase. We show that Yap1 is not …

Yap1 and Skn7 are two yeast transcriptional regulators that co-operate to activate
thioredoxin (TRX2) and thioredoxin reductase (TRR1) in response to redox stress signals …

"… a number of chapters provide excellent summaries of the modern methods available for
studying fungal ecology, along with those more traditional methods that are still extremely …

The YAP1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes a bZIP‐containing transcription
factor that is essential for the normal response of cells to oxidative stress. Under stress …

Cadmium is very toxic at low concentrations, but the basis for its toxicity is not clearly
understood. We analyzed the proteomic response of yeast cells to acute cadmium stress …

Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains eight members of a novel and fungus-specific family of
bZIP proteins that is defined by four atypical residues on the DNA-binding surface. Two of …

Living cells, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic, employ specific sensory and signalling systems
to obtain and transmit information from their environment in order to adjust cellular …

A summary of previously defined phenotypes in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisae is
presented. The purpose of this review is to provide a compendium of phenotypes that can be …
