Abstract excerpt

Yeast mutants blocked in farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) synthetase have been isolated. Their specific phenotype is likely linked to a lowering in the FPP pool required for protein prenylation. The structural gene of FPP synthetase has been isolated. Complete inactivation of FPP synthetase by gene dis...
