Abstract excerpt
The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has a single actin gene, ACT1, whose protein product is essential for cell viability. To study the structure-function relationship of this evolutionarily highly conserved protein, we have introduced into the gene several mutations leading to substitutions of amino acids that, by chemical crosslinking experiments, have previously been identified as potential sites for the...
