Genes Dev. 12:1998;1453-1463. Describes the oxidative stress sensitive and multidrug sensitive phenotypes of both pap1 and sty1 mutant strains and identifies several genes, including potential drug transporters, which require Pap1 for their stress-dependent expression. Pap1 is regulated by changes in subcellular localisation mediated by the nuclear export factor Crm1 and the Ran nucleotide exchange factor Pim1.

The authors describe the use of DNA microarrays containing all S. cerevisiae genes to identify genes whose expression was affected by overexpression of the transcriptional activator Yap1. Although some genes known to be regulated by Yap1 were not identified in this study, the approach is a powerful one and can be adapted to identify the targets of any transcription factor.

Cytoplasmic localisation of Yap1 is mediated by the Crm1 (Xpo1) nuclear export factor. The carboxy-terminal CRD sequence of Yap1 functions as a nuclear export sequence which is recognised by Crm1. The interaction between Crm1 and the CRD in vivo is reduced in response to oxidative stress.

This paper shows that Yap1 activation occurs primarily at the level of nuclear localisation. The oxidative-stress-dependent relocalisation of Yap1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus was found to be dependent on the carboxy-terminal CRD. Moreover, the CRD is sufficient to impart regulated nuclear localisation to a heterologous transcription factor.
