Abstract excerpt
Transcription of MET genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae depends on a transcriptional activator, the MET4 gene product (Met4p). Using in vitro mutagenesis, we isolated two mutant MET4 alleles encoding [Pro215]Met4p and [Ser156]Met4p. These mutations impeded Met4p's responsiveness to methionine in the media, and yeast cells carrying mutant alleles exhibited enhanced transcription of MET genes under repressing...
