Lipid droplets (LDs) are ubiquitous organelles that play crucial roles in response to
physiological and environmental cues. The identification of several neutral lipid synthesizing …

The multitude of applications to which Saccharomyces spp. are put makes these yeasts the
most prolific of industrial microorganisms. This review considers biological aspects …

Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate a variety of cellular processes in
eukaryotes. In fungal pathogens, conserved MAPK pathways control key virulence functions …

The multisubunit NuA4/TIP60 complex is a lysine acetyltransferase, chromatin modifying
factor and gene co-activator involved in diverse biological processes. The past decade has …

This study explores the intricate relationship between the yeast vacuolar H+-ATPase (V-
ATPase) and neutral lipid metabolism. We show that LD generation observed upon loss of V …

Plasma membrane H+-ATPases (PMAs) play an important role in the pathogenicity of
pathogenic fungi. Lipid droplets are important storage sites for neutral lipids in fungal …

Background In oleaginous yeast, nitrogen limitation is a critical parameter for lipid synthesis.
GATA-family transcriptional factor GAT1, a member of the target of rapamycin (TOR) …

This Special Issue was devoted to unravelling novel aspects of yeast biology and signal
transduction in numerous yet intricate basic processes. The work presented herein sheds …

Background Seipin is a protein encoded by the BSCL2 gene in humans and SEI1 gene in
yeast, forming an Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER)-bound homo-oligomer. This oligomer is …

Cell growth, characterized by the accumulation of biomass, and the cell division process, are
fundamental for cell survival and reproduction. Classically, it was thought that cell growth …
