Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, AMP biosynthesis genes (ADE genes) are transcriptionally activated in the absence of extracellular purines by the Bas1p and Bas2p (Pho2p) transcription factors. We now show that expression of the ADE genes is low in mutant strains affected in the first seven steps of the pathway, while it is constitutively derepressed in mutant strains affected in later steps. Combined with epistasy...
