Pissarro, Teresa; Malta-Luís, Cláudia; Ferreira, Luana; Pimentel, Catarina; Lima, Luís M.P.Publisher Copyright: © 2024 by the authors.; The rise in antifungal resistance among medically important fungi causing severe infectious diseases has underscored the urgent need for developing more effective antifungal agents. Growing evidence suggests that compounds combining functional antifungal groups with metals are promising candidates and may well be the key to addressing this global challenge. In this w...

Yeast AP-1 like transcription factors (Yap) and stress response
Rodrigues-Pousada, Claudina; Devaux, Frédéric; Caetano, Soraia M.; Pimentel, Catarina; da Silva, Sofia; Cordeiro, Ana Carolina; Amaral, CatarinaYeast adaptation to stress has been extensively studied. It involves large reprogramming of genome expression operated by many, more or less specific, transcription factors. Here, we review our current knowledge on the function of the eight Yap transcription factors (Yap1 to Yap8) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which were shown to be involved in various stress responses. More precisely, Yap1 is activated under ox...
