Mak2p and Mak3p control Atf1p-dependent gene
transcription in response to peroxide stress. Log-phase cultures of
wild-type (CH429), Δmak1 (KZ1535),
Δmak2 (VB1530), or
Δmak3 (VB1932) cells growing in YES at
30°C were incubated in the presence of 1 mM hydrogen peroxide for the
times indicated. Total RNA was extracted and equal quantities were
separated by electrophoresis. Northern blots were then probed
sequentially by using DNAs specific to the pyp2,
gpx1, ctt1, and cdc2 genes.
