Abstract excerpt
The transcriptional activator Gcn4p is considered the master regulator of amino acid metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and is required for the transcriptional response to amino acid starvation. Here it is shown that Gcn4p plays a previously undescribed role in regulating adaptation to anaerobic growth. A gcn4 mutant exhibited a highly extended lag phase after a shift to anaerobiosis that was the result of...
