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 …

Pseudohyphal growth in both haploid and diploid strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
reflects concerted changes in different cellular processes: budding pattern, cell elongation …

Eukaryotic cells display a wide range of morphologies important for cellular function and
development. A particular cell shape is made via the generation of asymmetry in the …

The osmotolerant and halotolerant food yeast Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is known for its
ability to grow and survive in the face of stress caused by high concentrations of non-ionic …

The Candida albicans MKC1 gene encodes a mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase,
which has been cloned by complementation of the lytic phenotype associated with …

Schizosaccharomyces pombe rho1+ is required for maintenance of cell integrity and
polarization of the actin cytoskeleton. However, no other effector besides the (1, 3) β-D …

A target of rapamycin (TOR) protein is a protein kinase that exerts cellular signal
transduction to regulate cell growth in response to extracellular nutrient conditions. In the …

Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathways are critical for the sensing and
response of eukaryotic cells to extracellular changes. In Schizosaccharomyces pombe …

Calcineurin is a highly conserved and ubiquitously expressed Ca 2+‐and calmodulin‐
