SSK22

mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase SSK22, L000002827, YCR073C
MAP kinase kinase kinase of HOG1 mitogen-activated signaling pathway; functionally redundant with Ssk2p; interacts with and is activated by Ssk1p; phosphorylates Pbs2p; SSK22 has a paralog, SSK2, that arose from the whole genome duplication

STE11

mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase STE11, L000002118, YLR362W
Signal transducing MEK kinase; involved in pheromone response and pseudohyphal/invasive growth pathways where it phosphorylates Ste7p, and the high osmolarity response pathway, via phosphorylation of Pbs2p; regulated by Ste20p and Ste50p; protein abundance increases in response to DNA replication stress
Saccharomyces cerevisiae (S288c)

Synthetic Lethality

A genetic interaction is inferred when mutations or deletions in separate genes, each of which alone causes a minimal phenotype, result in lethality when combined in the same cell under a given condition.

Requirement of STE50 for osmostress-induced activation of the STE11 mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase in the high-osmolarity glycerol response pathway.

Posas F, Witten EA, Saito H

Exposure of yeast cells to increases in extracellular osmolarity activates the HOG1 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase cascade, which is composed of three tiers of protein kinases: (i) the SSK2, SSK22, and STE11 MAP kinase kinase kinases (MAPKKKs), (ii) the PBS2 MAPKK, and (iii) the HOG1 MAP kinase. Activation of the MAP kinase cascade is mediated by two upstream mechanisms. The ... [more]
