Abstract excerpt
All eukaryotic organisms have mechanisms to adapt to changing metabolic conditions. The mammalian cell survival gene Bcl-x(L) enables cells to adapt to changes in cellular metabolism. To identify genes whose function can be substituted by Bcl-x(L) in a unicellular eukaryote, a genetic screen was performed using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. S. cerevisiae grows by anaerobic glycolysis when glucose is...
