Abstract excerpt
We have initiated an investigation of the de novo purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway in the plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Functional suppression of Escherichia coli auxotrophs allowed the direct isolation of expressed Arabidopsis leaf cDNAs. Using this approach we have successfully suppressed mutants in 4 of the 12 genes in this pathway. One of these cDNA clones, encoding 5'-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole...
