Abstract excerpt
We have cloned the yeast allele HOM3-R2, that codes for a mutant aspartate kinase which is insensitive to feedback inhibition by threonine, by gap-repair. A strain carrying this allele in a multicopy plasmid, or integrated into the genome, accumulates 14-times and 8-times more threonine than the wild-type, respectively. The sequence of the mutant allele differs from that of the wild-type in a single base pair...
