This first systematic characterization of single-cell Ca2+ dynamics in Saccharomyces cerevisiae adapts GCaMP sensors to budding yeast to show that the pheromone modulates the frequency of cytosolic Ca2+ bursts. The Ca2+-responsive transcription factor Crz1 experiences nuclear localization bursts during the pheromone response.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
