Stress responses of yeast
Current Research
Environmental stresses such as high osmolarity and glucose starvation transiently inhibit translation initiation and actin polarization in budding yeast. My study is to elucidate the principle of action common to alcohols and clinical drugs (anesthetics, antipsychotic drugs, and antimalarial drugs) that induce the reaction similar to the stress responses.
