    Yeast cells carry four homologs of GSK-3beta, RIM11, MCK1, MRK1 and YGK3. The significant homologs are RIM11 and MCK1 that presumably arose from a recent genome duplication followed by a rapid divergence...

    ..Furthermore, Rog1 is stabilized in the npi1 mutant, in which RSP5 expression levels are reduced. These results suggest that yeast GSK-3 regulates the stability of Rog1 in cooperation with Bul1, Bul2, and Rsp5. ..

    ..Because neither Msn2p-GSK-3 complex formation nor GSK-3-dependent phosphorylation of Msn2p could be detected, the regulation of Msn2p by GSK-3 may be indirect. ..
