KlHsl1 is a component of glycerol response pathways in the milk yeast Kluyveromyces lactis

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae , HSL1 ( NIK1 ) encodes a serine-threonine protein kinase involved in cell cycle control and morphogenesis. Deletion of its putative orthologue in Kluyveromyces lactis , KlHSL1 , gives rise to sensitivity to the respiratory inhibitor antimycin A (AA). Resistance to AA on glucose (Rag + phenotype) is associated with genes ( RAG ) required for glucose metabolism/glycolysis. To understand the relationship between RAG and...
