Abstract excerpt
The Kluyveromyces lactis toxin is a protein containing three subunits (alpha, beta and gamma) which causes sensitive yeast cells to arrest proliferation in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. Despite the toxin's complex structure, the gamma subunit appears to be the only component required for it to arrest proliferation since intracellular expression of the gamma polypeptide alone in a sensitive yeast strain mimics...
