The Molecular and Cellular Biology of the Yeast Saccharomyces: Gene Expression

In this second volume of a three-volume set (updating the seminal 1981 monograph The Molecular Biology of the Yeast Saccharomyces), the emphasis is on gene expression. A continuing theme of these monographs has been the extent to which basic biological processes have been conserved in the eukaryotic world during evolution. This conservation is particularly striking in those facets of yeast biology reviewed in this volume: the transcriptional machinery, tRNA processing, mRNA splicing, stress and chaperone proteins, ubiquitin-associated functions, the trimeric G-protein-based pheromone response pathway, and chromosomal imprinting.
