Abstract excerpt
A yeast mutant was found to have defective growth on low iron medium despite a normal high affinity iron transport system. The phenotype results from a gain of function mutation in PDR1, which encodes a transcription factor that acts as a regulator of pleiotropic drug resistance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The mutant allele, PDR1(R821H), was found to result in increased expression of at least 19 genes, three of...
