Abstract excerpt
To analyze the phenotype of cells lacking the vacuolar ATPase, we inactivated the vma-1 gene, which encodes the catalytic subunit of the enzyme. Because preliminary experiments suggested the vma-1 gene was essential, we developed a method of simultaneously inactivating the gene and complementing it with a functional copy. We call this method repeat-induced point mutation (RIP) & Rescue. Two strains, both of which...
