Abstract excerpt
The S. cerevisiae myristoyl-CoA:protein N-myristoyltransferase gene (NMT1) is essential for vegetative growth. NMT1 was found to be allelic with a previously described, but unmapped and unidentified mutation that causes myristic acid (C14:0) auxotrophy. The mutant (nmt1-181) is temperature sensitive, but growth at the restrictive temperature (36 degrees C) is rescued with exogenous C14:0. Several analogues of...
