Abstract excerpt
CTP synthetase (EC 6.3.4.2, UTP:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming)) is an essential enzyme in all organisms; it generates the CTP required for the synthesis of nucleic acids and membrane phospholipids. In this work we showed that the human CTP synthetase genes, CTPS1 and CTPS2, were functional in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and complemented the lethal phenotype of the ura7Delta ura8Delta mutant lacking CTP synthetase...
