The transcriptional activator Pog1 controls cell cycle, and its phosphorylated form is downregulated by the ubiquitin ligase Dma2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract The POG1 gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is suggested to encode the transcriptional activator that promotes growth in the presence of a mating pheromone. We previously showed that the overexpression of POG1 conferred tolerance to high concentrations of LiCl and sugar on laboratory and baker's yeast strains, respectively. Here, the overexpression of POG1 was shown to induce cell cycle delay at the G1 phase and morphological abnormality. In addition, by yeast two‐hybrid screening, the really interesting new gene (RING)‐type ubiquitin ligase Dma2, which is involved in cell cycle regulation, was identified as the...

A novel role of the ferric reductase Cfl1 in cell wall integrity, mitochondrial function, and invasion to host cells in Candida albicans
In this study, we found that disruption of CFL1 led to hypersensitivity to chemical and physical cell wall stresses, activation of the cell wall integrity (CWI) pathway, abnormal cell wall composition, and enhanced secretion, indicating a defect in CWI in this mutant. Moreover, this mutant showed abnormal mitochondrial activity and morphology, suggesting a link between ferric reductases and mitochondrial function. In addition, this mutant displayed decreased ability of adhesion to both the polystyrene microplates and buccal epithelial cells and invasion of host epithelial cells. These findings revealed a novel role of C. ...
