Ian, I have read the paper and have it in front of me as I write this.
Your interpretation of Patel et al may be correct. But as I look at Table
II on page 86 I find that "TE cells" is used twice, once for STE3 and
once for a molecule they label as TE4.
Therefore, the fact that TE cells and STE3 and linked tells me nothing
very definite about STE3.
Why would authors usurp a nomenclature so standard for yeast proteins?
Why would reviewers allow that to happen?
