X Abstract

Four putative yeast transcription factors (Hal6-9p) have been identified which upon overexpression in multicopy plasmids increase sodium and lithium tolerance. This effect is mediated, at least in part, by increased expression of the Ena1p Na+/Li+ extrusion pump. Hal6p and Hal7p are bZIP proteins and their gene disruptions affected neither salt tolerance nor ENA1 expression. Hal8p and Hal9p are putative zinc fingers and their gene disruptions decreased both salt tolerance and ENA1 expression. Therefore, Hal8p and Hal9p, but not Hal6p and Hal7p, qualify as transcriptional activators of ENA1 under physiological conditions. Hal8p seems to mediate the calcineurin-dependent part of ENA1 expression.

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.
