Abstract excerpt
An uncharacterized yeast gene has been shown to encode a polyamine acetyltransferase and named PAA1. The recombinant Paa1 protein readily acetylates various polyamines such as putrescine, spermidine, and spermine. paa1 mutants are viable and grow normally under standard conditions. The mutants are sensitive to hydroxyurea, and they are synthetically temperature-sensitive with a rad53-21 mutation. The mutants also...
