Abstract excerpt
The shikimate pathway resulting in three aromatic amino acids is initiated in different organisms by two and three 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthases, respectively. Aro3p and Aro4p are the yeast enzymes feedback-inhibited by phenylalanine and tyrosine, respectively. A yeast strain deficient in the general control transcriptional regulatory system of amino acid biosynthesis is unable to live in...
