title: OS-2 mitogen activated protein kinase regulates the clock-controlled gene ccg-1 in Neurospora crassa.
abstract: OS-2 MAP kinase is involved in osmoadaptation in Neurospora crassa. Clock-controlled genes ccg-1, bli-3, and con-10 were induced by osmotic stress in an OS-2 dependent manner. In contrast, osmotic stress did not affect the expression of clock genes frq, wc-1, and wc-2 or of clock-controlled genes ccg-2 and bli-4. These results suggest that OS-2 participates in the regulation of certain circadian-clock output genes.
