New Insights in <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i> Response to the Cyanotoxin Microcystin-LR, Revealed by Proteomics and Gene Expression

Microcystins (MCs) are hepatotoxins produced by some cyanobacteria. They are cyclic peptides that inhibit the serine/threonine protein phosphatases (PPs) PP1 and PP2A, especially PP2A. The inhibition of PP2A triggers a series of molecular events, which are responsible for most MC cytotoxic and genot...
