Strain-dependent differences in coordination of yeast signalling networks.

ABSTRACT: The yeast mitogen-activated protein kinase pathways serve as a model system for understanding how network interactions affect the way in which cells coordinate the response to multiple signals. We have quantitatively compared two yeast strain backgrounds YPH499 and ∑1278b (both of which have previously been used to study these pathways) and found several important differences in how they coordinate the interaction between the high osmolarity glycerol (HOG) and mating pathways. In the ∑1278b background, in response to simultaneous stimulus, mating pathway activation is dampened and delayed in a dose-dependent manner. In the YPH499 background, only dampening is dose-dependent. Furthermore, leakage from the HOG pathway into the mating pathway (crosstalk) occurs during osmostress alone in the
