Abstract excerpt
Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain V918 was previously isolated in a search for thermosensitive autolytic mutants and found to bear a recessive mutation that caused the development of multinucleate swollen cells undergoing cell lysis. The BEM2 gene has been isolated by complementation of the phenotype of a V918 segregant. BEM2 encodes a Rho-GTPase-activating protein (GAP) which is thought to act as a modulator of...
