Abstract excerpt
We previously identified four nuclear genes (caf1+-caf4+) in Schizosaccharomyces pombe, mutations in which confer resistance to caffeine and brefeldin A. caf1+, caf2+ and caf4+ were sequenced and found to be identical to the multidrug-resistance/stress-response genes hba1, crm1 and trr1, respectively. Here we show that caf3 is allelic to pap1, which encodes an AP-1-like transcription factor. The allele associated...
