Abstract excerpt
tRNA isopentenylation is a branch of an isoprenoid pathway in yeast. There is a competition for a substrate between isoprenoid biosynthetic enzyme Erg20p and tRNA isopentenyltransferase. Here we studied the direct effect of elevated tRNA biosynthesis on ERG20 expression. The maf1-1 mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that has enhanced cellular tRNA levels was used. We show that both ERG20 transcript and Erg20...
