Abstract excerpt
Sequencing of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae genome revealed an open reading frame (YJR105w) encoding a putative protein highly similar to adenosine kinases from other species. Disruption of this gene (renamed ADO1) affected utilization of S-adenosyl methionine (AdoMet) as a purine source and resulted in a severe reduction of adenosine kinase activity in crude extracts. Furthermore, knock-out of ADO1 led to...
