Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae was transformed with expression plasmids carrying the DTA gene under control of the GAL1 promoter; colonies that formed under inducing conditions were selected; and plasmids from these colonies were screened for mutations in DTA that failed to block expression of the protein. Substitutions at three sites were identified, all of which are in the active-site cleft; and each of the...
