abstract：:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, many osmotically inducible genes are regulated by the Sko1p-Ssn6p-Tup1p complex. On osmotic shock, the MAP kinase Hog1p associates with this complex, phosphorylates Sko1p, and converts it into an activator that subsequently recruits Swi/Snf and SAGA complexes. We have found that phospholip...
