Research Abstract |
This project aims to identify regulators of MAPK signaling using fission yeast S. pombe as a model organism. We identified negative regulators of Pmk1 MAPK, such as ptc1+, ptc3+, encoding PP2Cs, and ecm33+, encoding a cell surface protein. We also identified targets of Pmk1 including the Atf1 transcription factor and the Nrd1 RNA-binding protein. We also demonstrated feedback mechanisms involving these regulators of Pmk1 MAPK and identified several compounds with potent MAPK inhibitory action.
