Abstract excerpt
Tyrphostins are inhibitors of the epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase. To elucidate the biological function of protein tyrosine kinases in yeast cells, a mutant hypersensitive to tyrphostin was isolated and investigated for its response to the drug. The mutation was recessive and was designated tpt1 for tyrphostin hypersensitive. A tpt1 strain cannot grow in the presence of tyrphostin, implying that...
