Abstract

A two component signal transduction transcription factor, Bry 1, regulates the oxidative stress response in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. However, the mechanism by which Bry1 is regulated is unknown though is likely to include upstream regulatory kinases and regulatory proteins that interact with a coiled-coil domain identified in the protein. Thus, the project will focus on the elaboration of the control of Bry 1 as an effector of signal transduction pathways which regulate the oxidative stress response. Using standard methods of biochemistry, molecular biology and genetics the specific aims are to investigate the role of phosphorylation and the coiled-coil domain in the regulation of Bry 1 by the oxidative stress response.
