The osmotic stress response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Microorganisms continuously experience rapid and drastic changes of the surrounding environment. Consequently, cells need to sense and to respond to such alterations in a highly controlled fashion in order to survive and to adapt to the ever-changing environment. Significant progress has recently been achieved in understanding the physiological, molecular and genetic details of yeast osmoregulation and adaptation. This review describes various aspects of the osmotic stress response of Saccharomyces cerevisiae including the production and accumulation of compatible solutes, control of transport systems, signal transduction and the transcriptional response during osmotic stress.
