Isolation and characterization of two distinct myo-inositol transporter genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 15 Jun 1991

Abstract excerpt

By the complementation of a yeast mutant defective in myo-inositol transport (Nikawa, J., Nagumo, T., and Yamashita, S. (1982) J. Bacteriol. 150, 441-446), we isolated two myo-inositol transporter genes, ITR1 and ITR2, from a yeast gene library. The ITR1 and ITR2 genes contained long open reading frames capable of encoding 584 and 612 amino acids with calculated relative molecular masses of 63,605 and 67,041,...
