Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae normally requires sphingolipid biosynthesis for growth; however, mutant strains lacking sphingolipids have been isolated by suppression of a genetic defect in sphingolipid long chain base biosynthesis. To begin to understand the nature of the suppressor(s) we isolated and characterized a suppressor gene, SLC1 (sphingolipid compensation). DNA sequence analysis showed that the wild type...
