Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutants of yeast ATPase were previously studied after introduction of mutant alleles into a yeast strain where these alleles were constitutively expressed while the expression of the wild-type chromosomal ATPase gene was turned off. As a functional H+ pump is essential, strong selective pressure leads to the accumulation of revertants during growth of cells harboring variants with low activity....
