Abstract excerpt
To dissect the action mechanism of reveromycin A (RM-A), a G(1)-specific inhibitor, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae dominant mutant specifically resistant to RM-A, was isolated from a strain in which the genes implicated in nonspecific multidrug resistance had been deleted. The mutant gene (YRR2-1) responsible for the resistance was identified as an allele of the ILS1 gene encoding tRNA(Ile) synthetase (IleRS). The...
