Abstract excerpt
Tryptophan (Trp) is a proteinogenic aromatic amino acid; however, high levels of Trp are toxic in animals and yeast with unknown mechanisms. Previously, we suggested that aromatic aminotransferase Aro9 is important for excess Trp degradation. Besides, Schroeder and Ikui showed that aro9Δ is sensitive to membrane stress by sodium dodecyl sulfate. Therefore, Trp accumulation may reduce the cell wall or membrane...
