Abstract excerpt
Sequencing of the yeast gene that complemented the sensitivity to the photoactivated monofunctional 3-carbethoxypsoralen of the pso6-1 mutant strain revealed that the ERG3 locus, encoding sterol C-5 desaturase involved in biosynthesis of ergosterol, is allelic to PSO6. Disruption of the ERG3 gene yielded an erg3Delta mutant viable in ergosterol-containing YEPD media with the same pleiotropic mutant phenotype...
