Abstract excerpt
Conditional mutants are a vital tool for analysis of gene function. The use of temperature-sensitive mutants in Schizosaccharomyces pombe has significantly promoted understanding of many cellular processes. A portable heat-inducible amino-terminal degron (N-degron) for conditional degradation of a gene product has been previously described in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This paper describes the adaptation of the...
