Transmembrane mucins Hkr1 and Msb2 are putative osmosensors in the SHO1 branch of yeast HOG pathway.
To cope with life-threatening high osmolarity, yeast activates the high-osmolarity glycerol (HOG) signaling pathway, whose core element is the Hog1 MAP kinase cascade. Activated Hog1 regulates the cell cycle, protein translation, and gene expression. Upstream of the HOG pathway are functionally redundant SLN1 and SHO1 signaling branches. However, neither… (More)
Adaptor functions of Cdc42, Ste50, and Sho1 in the yeast osmoregulatory HOG MAPK pathway.
The yeast high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) signaling pathway can be activated by either of the two upstream pathways, termed the SHO1 and SLN1 branches. When stimulated by high osmolarity, the SHO1 branch activates an MAP kinase module composed of the Ste11 MAPKKK, the Pbs2 MAPKK, and the Hog1 MAPK. To investigate how osmostress activates this MAPK module, we… (More)
Glycosylation defects activate filamentous growth Kss1 MAPK and inhibit osmoregulatory Hog1 MAPK.
The yeast filamentous growth (FG) MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway is activated under poor nutritional conditions. We found that the FG-specific Kss1 MAPK is activated by a combination of an O-glycosylation defect caused by disruption of the gene encoding the protein O-mannosyltransferase Pmt4, and an N-glycosylation defect induced by tunicamycin. The… (More)
Yeast osmosensors Hkr1 and Msb2 activate the Hog1 MAPK cascade by different mechanisms.
To cope with environmental high osmolarity, the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) Hog1, which controls an array of osmoadaptive responses. Two independent, but functionally redundant, osmosensing systems involving the transmembrane sensor histidine kinase Sln1 or the tetraspanning membrane protein… (More)
Dynamic control of yeast MAP kinase network by induced association and dissociation between the Ste50 scaffold and the Opy2 membrane anchor.
Membrane localization of the Ste11 MAPKKK is essential for activation of both the filamentous growth/invasive growth (FG/IG) MAP kinase (MAPK) pathway and the SHO1 branch of the osmoregulatory HOG MAPK pathway, and is mediated by binding of the Ste50 scaffold protein to the Opy2 membrane anchor. We found that Opy2 has two major (CR-A and CR-B), and one… (More)
ATP-driven chromatin remodeling activity and histone acetyltransferases act sequentially during transactivation by RAR/RXR In vitro.
Using a "crude" chromatin-based transcription system that mimics transactivation by RAR/RXR heterodimers in vivo, we could not demonstrate that chromatin remodeling was required to relieve nucleosomal repression. Using "purified" chromatin templates, we show here that, irrespective of the presence of histone H1, both ATP-driven chromatin remodeling… (More)
Manumycin and gliotoxin derivative KT7595 block Ras farnesylation and cell growth but do not disturb lamin farnesylation and localization in human tumour cells.
Recently, many inhibitors of farnesyl protein transferase (FPTase) have been identified. Some of them interrupt cell growth in addition to Ras and nuclear lamin processing of Ras-transformed cells. We have tested the effect of the FPTase inhibitors manumycin, an analogue of farnesyl diphosphate, and KT7595, a gliotoxin derivative, on Ras farnesylation, DNA… (More)
Mutation of TRS130, which encodes a component of the TRAPP II complex, activates transcription of OCH1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae Och1p is required for the initiation of the mannose outer chain elongation of cell wall mannoproteins. A trs130(ts1) mutant that showed an elevated expression of the OCH1-reporters was isolated in our laboratory. In this study, we attempted to gain an understanding of the relationship between the defect in the Trs130p function… (More)
Some features of base pair mismatch repair and its role in the formation of genetic recombinants.
For the formation of recombinants involving closely linked markers, two distinct processes play a role. The recombinational interaction between homologous DNA molecules results in the presence of heteroduplex DNA joining the parental components of the recombinant. The presence of markers distinguishing the parents in the region of heteroduplex DNA can… (More)
Osmosensing and scaffolding functions of the oligomeric four-transmembrane domain osmosensor Sho1
The yeast high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) pathway activates the Hog1 MAP kinase, which coordinates adaptation to high osmolarity conditions. Here we demonstrate that the four-transmembrane (TM) domain protein Sho1 is an osmosensor in the HKR1 sub-branch of the HOG pathway. Crosslinking studies indicate that Sho1 forms planar oligomers of the… (More)
