Abstract excerpt
A yeast mutant defective in permeases S1 and S2 which transport L-leucine was isolated from a parental strain already deficient in the general amino acid permease, GAP1. The mutant was selected as a spontaneous, trifluoroleucine-resistant (TFLR) strain. Full resistance depended upon the presence of two unlinked mutant genes designated let1 and let2. The let1 mutation completely inactivates the high-affinity...
