Abstract excerpt

Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells defective in GAL3 function exhibit either one of two phenotypes. The gal3 mutation in an otherwise normal cell causes a 2-5-day delay in the galactose triggered induction of GAL/MEL gene transcription. This long term adaptation (LTA) phenotype has been ascribed to i...
