Abstract excerpt
KlADH3 and KlADH4 are Kluyveromyces lactis genes encoding the two mitochondrial alcohol dehydrogenase activities located within mitochondria. In this yeast, ethanol induces the transcription of KlADH4 and, conversely, represses that of KlADH3. In this study, we describe the effects of the aar900 mutation on such regulation. This mutation, firstly isolated in a strain devoid of alcohol dehydrogenase genes except...
