Abstract excerpt
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae MID1 gene encodes a stretch-activated Ca(2+)-permeable nonselective cation channel composed of 548 amino acid residues. A physiological role of the Mid1 channel is known to maintain the viability of yeast cells exposed to mating pheromone, but its structural basis remains to be clarified. To solve this problem, we identified the mutation sites of mid1 mutant alleles generated by...
