Serine/threonine-protein kinase RCK1; Protein kinase involved in oxidative stress response; promotes pseudohyphal growth via activation of Ubp3p phosphorylation; identified as suppressor of S. pombe cell cycle checkpoint mutations; RCK1 has a paralog, RCK2, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor; required for oxidative stress tolerance; activated by H2O2 through the multistep formation of disulfide bonds and transit from the cytoplasm to the nucleus; Yap1p is degraded in the nucleus after the oxidative stress has passed; mediates resistance to cadmium; relative distribution to the nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress; YAP1 has a paralog, CAD1, that arose from the whole genome duplication.

Cadmium transporting P-type ATPase; may also have a role in copper and iron homeostasis; stabilized by Cd binding, which prevents ubiquitination; S288C and other lab strains contain a G970R mutation which eliminates Cd transport function; Belongs to the cation transport ATPase (P-type) (TC 3.A.3) family. Type IB subfamily.

AP-1-like transcription factor YAP8; Transcriptional activator of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family; required for transcription of genes involved in resistance to arsenic compounds; directly binds trivalent arsenic (As(III)) as does K. lactis ortholog, KIYAP8.

Zinc finger protein MSN2; Stress-responsive transcriptional activator; activated in stochastic pulses of nuclear localization in response to various stress conditions; binds DNA at stress response elements of responsive genes; relative distribution to nucleus increases upon DNA replication stress.

Zinc finger protein MSN4; Stress-responsive transcriptional activator; activated in stochastic pulses of nuclear localization in response to various stress conditions; binds DNA at stress response elements of responsive genes, inducing gene expression; involved in diauxic shift.

General control protein GCN4; bZIP transcriptional activator of amino acid biosynthetic genes; activator responds to amino acid starvation; expression is tightly regulated at both the transcriptional and translational levels; Belongs to the bZIP family. GCN4 subfamily.

Leucine-zipper transcriptional activator; responsible for regulation of sulfur amino acid pathway; requires different combinations of auxiliary factors Cbf1p, Met28p, Met31p and Met32p; feedforward loop exists in the regulation of genes controlled by Met4p and Met32p; can be ubiquitinated by ubiquitin ligase SCF-Met30p, is either degraded or maintained in an inactive state; regulates degradation of its own DNA-binding cofactors by targeting them to SCF-Met30p; Belongs to the bZIP family.

Basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factor of the yAP-1 family; physically interacts with the Tup1-Cyc8 complex and recruits Tup1p to its targets; mediates pleiotropic drug resistance and salt tolerance; nuclearly localized under oxidative stress and sequestered in the cytoplasm by Lot6p under reducing conditions; CIN5 has a paralog, YAP6, that arose from the whole genome duplication.
