Genetic analysis of yeast strains lacking negative feedback control: a one-step method for positive selection and cloning of carbamoylphosphate synthetase-aspartate transcarbamoylase mutants unable to respond to UTP.

Abstract excerpt

We have undertaken an in vivo genetic approach to the analysis of negative feedback control by uridine triphosphate (UTP) of the yeast carbamoylphosphate synthetase-aspartate transcarbamoylase multifunctional protein (CPSase-ATCase). Using an analog of uracil, 5-fluorouracil, we have constructed a screening system leading, in one step, to selection and cloning of a functional aspartate transcarbamoylase that is...
