Abstract excerpt
Two multicopy suppressors of the cal1-1 mutation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae have been isolated and characterized. They are identical to the yeast RHO1 and RHO2 genes, which encode putative small GTP-binding proteins. Multiple copies of either RHO gene suppressed temperature-sensitive g...
