Abstract excerpt
We isolated spontaneous mutants resistant to sodium orthovanadate in the biotechnologically significant yeast Kluyveromyces lactis. Resistance behaved as a recessive character in all mutants analyzed. Four genes were defined by complementation analysis, from vga1 to vga4. These mutants showed defects in N-linked as well as O-linked glycosylation processes. In addition, the mutants exhibited sensitivity to the...
