These events require phos- patterns of gene expression controlling proliferation, dif- phorylation of Elk-1 by extracellular signal-regulated ferentiation and cell death. Immediate early gene (IEG) expression has revealed how crucial regulatory events kinase (ERK) and phosphorylation-dependent inter- revolve around the interface between pathway-specific action of Elk-1 with co-activators, including histone transcription factors and components of the transcription acetyltransferases and the Mediator complex. Elk-1 machinery, involving a plethora of protein interactions also recruits ERK to the promoters of its target and modifications (1,2).

C. albicans regulation has been studied in many contexts, including morphological transitions, mating competence, biofilm forma- tion, stress resistance, and cell wall synthesis. Analysis of kinase- and phosphatase-deficient mutants has made it clear that pro- tein phosphorylation plays an important role in the regulation of these pathways. In this study, to further our understanding of phosphorylation in C. albicans regulation, we performed a deep analysis of the phosphoproteome in C. albicans. We identified 19,590 unique peptides that corresponded to 15,906 unique phosphosites on 2,896 proteins.

The diversity and rate of this process, however, has not been extensively explored among the great ape lineages. We analyzed 97 deeply sequenced great ape and human genomes and estimate that 16% (469 Mbp) of the hominid genome has been affected by recent copy number changes.
