Cobalt 27-33 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 0-4 24486411-2 2014 In the present study, we have investigated how the transcription factor Yap1 mediates tolerance to cobalt toxicity. Cobalt 99-105 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 72-76 24486411-3 2014 METHODS: Fluorescence microscopy was used to address how cobalt activates Yap1. Cobalt 57-63 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 74-78 24486411-6 2014 RESULTS: Cobalt activates Yap1 under aerobiosis and anaerobiosis growth conditions. Cobalt 9-15 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 26-30 24486411-8 2014 However, when challenged with high concentrations of cobalt, yap1 mutant cells accumulate lower levels of this metal. Cobalt 53-59 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 61-65 24486411-10 2014 Moreover, we show that Yap1 is a repressor of the low affinity iron transporter, FET4, which is also known to transport cobalt. Cobalt 120-126 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 23-27 24486411-11 2014 CONCLUSIONS: Cobalt activates Yap1 that alleviates the oxidative damage caused by this metal. Cobalt 13-19 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 30-34 24486411-12 2014 Yap1 partially controls cobalt cellular uptake via the regulation of PHO84. Cobalt 24-30 DNA-binding transcription factor YAP1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C 0-4 24486411-14 2014 GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE: Our results emphasize the important role of Yap1 in mediating cobalt-induced oxidative damages and reveal new routes for cell protection provided by this regulator.
