Abstract excerpt
A method was devised to search for yeast mutants impaired in peroxisome functioning, indicating cross-talk between metabolic pathways. Two mutants were isolated; they are impaired in oleate utilisation and carry mutations in the KGD1 and LIP5 genes encoding the E1 component of the mitochondrial alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex and lipoic acid synthase, respectively. The results presented indicate that...
