Abstract excerpt
The N-end rule relates the in vivo half-life of a protein to the identity of its N-terminal residue. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutational inactivation of the N-end rule pathway is neither lethal nor phenotypically conspicuous. We have used a "synthetic lethal" screen to isolate a mutant that requires the N-end rule pathway for viability. An extragenic suppressor of this mutation was cloned and found...
