Kinase cascades regulating entry into apoptosis
Article Abstract:
Cell survival and proliferation are promoted through survival factors' activation of receptor tyrosine kinases and certain mitogen-activated, cyclin-dependent, lipid-activated, and cyclic adenylic acid-dependent kinases. Different members of these kinase families, on the other hand, inhibit cell growth and, under some circumstances, facilitate apoptotic cell death. Since individual kinase cascades interact with one another, they provide a link between cell surface receptors and the biochemical pathways leading to either cell proliferation or cell death.

Signal transduction cascades regulating fungal development and virulence
Article Abstract:
Signal transduction cascades regulating fungal filamentous growth and developmental signaling pathways are dicussed in this review. Research on fission yeast, human and plant fungal pathogens, and typical fungal species is presented. Data show that basic molecular determinants and mechanisms are conserved among the diverse systems studied.

Thermophilic fungi: their physiology and enzymes
Article Abstract:
A description of the enzymes produced by thermophilic fungi is presented. Thermophilic fungi are the only known eukaryotes that can live at temperatures up to 62 deg C. Their enzymes have potential industrial applications and are therefore of great interest to scientists.
