title: Isolation of cDNA sequences encoding the MAP kinase HOG1 and the MAP kinase kinase PBS2 genes of the fungus Alternaria tenuissima through a genetic approach.
abstract: Alternaria tenuissima is a fungus widely present in the environment and causes diseases in plants and humans in the world. In this study, we constructed an A. tenuissima cDNA expression library in a centromeric yeast vector that allows the isolation of functional cDNA sequences from this environmental and pathogenic fungus. Through a genetic approach we have isolated and functionally characterized the cDNA sequences encoding the MAP kinase (MAPK) Hog1p and the MAPK kinase Pbs2p of A. tenuissima. AtHOG1 cDNA encodes a protein of 355 amino acids, while AtPBS2 cDNA encodes a protein of 683 amino acids.
