Abstract excerpt
The function of the open reading frame (ORF) YOR108w of Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been analysed. The deletion of this ORF from chromosome XV did not give an identifiable phenotype. A mutant in which both ORF YOR108w and LEU4 gene have been deleted proved to be leucine auxotrophic and alpha-isopropylmalate synthase (alpha-IPMS)-negative. This mutant recovered alpha-IPMS activity and a Leu(+) phenotype when...
