Reversible phospho-dephosphorylation of proteins is a major mechanism for the control of
cellular functions. By large, Ser and Thr are the most frequently residues phosphorylated in …

Maintenance of proper intracellular concentrations of monovalent cations, mainly sodium
and potassium, is a requirement for survival of any cell. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces …

Phosphorylation is a universal mechanism for regulating cell behavior in eukaryotes.
Although protein kinases target short linear sequence motifs on their substrates, the rules for …

SUMMARY Protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) has long been implicated in cell cycle
regulation in many different organisms. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, PP2A …

Type 2C protein phosphatases are encoded in Saccharomyces cerevisiae by several
related genes (PTC1-5 and PTC7). To gain insight into the functions attributable to specific …

Control of the protein phosphorylation status is a major mechanism for regulation of cellular
processes, and its alteration often lead to functional disorders. Ppz1, a protein phosphatase …

The SNF1/AMP-activated protein kinases (AMPKs) function in energy regulation in
eukaryotic cells. SNF1/AMPKs are αβγ heterotrimers that are activated by phosphorylation of …

Unlike most other organisms, the essential five-step coenzyme A biosynthetic pathway has
not been fully resolved in yeast. Specifically, the genes encoding the …

Fusarium graminearum is the pathogenic agent of Fusarium head blight (FHB), which is a
destructive disease on wheat and barley, thereby causing huge economic loss and health …

Kuratsuki bacteria enter the sake production process and affect the flavor and taste of sake.
