Abstract excerpt
A culture cycle dependent interconversion of sterols and steryl esters is disturbed in a mutant of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Independent extragenic suppressors to this mutant return the mutant's pleiotropic phenotype to that of the parental wild type. Concomitant with the alterations in interconversion, modifications were found in the yeast proteins that antigenically react with antibodies elicited against...
