Abstract excerpt
In the yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, pyruvate decarboxylase (Pdc) is encoded by the two isogenes PDC1 and PDC5. Deletion of the more strongly expressed PDC1 gene stimulates the promoter activity of both PDC1 and PDC5, a phenomenon called Pdc autoregulation. Hence, pdc1Delta strains have high Pdc specific activity and can grow on glucose medium. In this work we have characterized the mutant alleles pdc1-8 and...
