Abstract:

Mating of Ascomycete fungi involves chemically distinct pheromones; one partner makes a lipid-modified peptide, the other partner a simple peptide. A new study has now found that this inherent asymmetry may not be necessary.

Yeast Signaling

Yeasts are single-celled organisms, but unlike bacteria, they are eukaryotes (cells with a nucleus). Cell signaling in yeast is similar to signaling in other eukaryotic cells. A ligand, such as a protein or a small molecule released from a yeast cell, attaches to a receptor on the cell surface. The binding stimulates second-messenger kinases to activate or inactivate transcription factors that further regulate gene expression. Many of the yeast intracellular signaling cascades have similar...
