Abstract excerpt
A thi2(pho6) mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, defective in the expression of structural genes for thiamin-repressible acid phosphatase and enzymes involved in thiamin biosynthesis, was found to retain sufficient thiamin transport activity. The transport activity was repressed by thiamin in growth medium. We isolated from a S. cerevisiae genomic library two hybrid plasmids, pTSR1 and pTSR2, containing 10.2- and...
