Maintenance of cellular integrity in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae is carried out by the activation of the protein
kinase C-mediated mitogen-activated protein kinase
(PKC1-MAPK) pathway. Here we report that correct
down-regulation of both basal and induced activity of
the PKC1-MAPK pathway requires the SIT4 function.
Sit4 is a protein phosphatase also required for a proper
cell cycle progression. We present evidence demonstrat-
ing that the G1 to S delay in the cell cycle, which occurs
as a consequence of the absence of Sit4, is mediated by
up-regulation of Pkc1 activity. Sit4 operates down-
stream of the plasma membrane sensors Mid2, Wsc1, and
Wsc2 and upstream of Pkc1. Sit4 affects all known bio-
logical functions involving Pkc1, namely Mpk1 activity
and cell wall integrity, actin cytoskeleton organization,
and ribosomal gene transcription. |
