Abstract excerpt
Cloning of the MET19 gene revealed that it encodes the glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase from yeast. Sequence analysis showed a high degree of similarity between the yeast and the human enzymes. The cloned gene has allowed the construction of a glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase null mutant. The only phenotype of such a strain is an absolute requirement for an organic sulfur source, i.e. methionine,...
