Abstract excerpt
The ADE2 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast encodes aminoimidazole ribonucleotide-carboxylase (AIR-carboxylase), an enzyme catalyzing the sixth stage of purine nucleotide biosynthesis. Strains bearing the ade2 mutation are able to grow on a glucose-containing synthetic medium with the addition of adenine or hypoxanthine, which under the action of the cellular phosphoribosyltransferases are converted into...
