X Abstract

Saccharomyces cerevisiae, like other microorganisms, has evolved different mechanisms to survive under adverse conditions. The adaptation of yeast to cell wall stress is mainly regulated by mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways. The characterization of genome-wide transcriptional profiles to different cell wall stresses has allowed the identification of those genes important for cell wall remodelling under these circumstances. Moreover, profiling of mutant strains deleted in different elements of these pathways revealed the complexity of the signal transduction machinery responsible for regulating adaptation responses to cell wall stress in yeast. In addition to increase understanding of these adaptive responses, the molecular dissection of these signalling networks could impact on the development of effective new antifungal agents.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
