Abstract excerpt

The screening of mutants resistant to the oxidized analogues of methionine (methionine sulphoxide and ethionine sulphoxide) allowed the characterisation of a yeast mutant strain lacking the high affinity methionine permease and defining a new locus that was called MUP1. The study of MUP1 mutants...
