Abstract: | "In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the KSS1 gene encodes the MAP kinase of the invasive/filamentous growth pathway. In addition to its role in this signal transduction pathway, Kssl can replace the Fus3 MAP kinase in the pheromone-response pathway, in the absence of FUS3. Previous work indicated that derivatives of the S288C strain carry a mutant kss1 allele. Here, we report evidence that S288C derivatives used in the Yeast Genome Sequencing Programme carry a functional KSS1 gene and can thus be used to study the regulation of gene expression by KSS1" |
