Abstract excerpt
In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the protein encoded by the FUR1 gene is absolutely required for the expression of uracil phosphoribosyl transferase activity. The occurrence of semi-dominant mutations for 5-fluorouracil-(5FU)-resistance at this locus led us to clone and sequence the semi-dominant fur1-5 allele. A single point mutation, resulting in the substitution of arginine 134 for serine, is responsible for this...
