Abstract excerpt
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae SPE3 gene, coding for spermidine synthase, was cloned, sequenced, and localized on the right arm of chromosome XVI. The deduced amino acid sequence has a high similarity to mammalian spermidine synthases, and has putative S-adenosylmethionine binding motifs. To investigate the effect of total loss of the SPE3 gene, we constructed a null mutant of this gene, spe3delta, which has no...
