Abstract:
:As a key part of the mechanism which controls growth and division, cells are able to respond to a variety of intracellular and extracellular stimuli. Significant progress has been made in the understanding of the biochemical mechanisms underlying mating-factor signal transduction in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Some of these mechanisms may be relevant to the regulation of other signal transduction pathways.
