Abstract excerpt
Key factors which impact on the biosynthesis and subsequent fate of the phospholipid precursor inositol were studied as a function of growth phase in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both wild-type and strains disrupted for the OPI1 gene, the principal negative regulator of the phospholipid biosynthetic genes, were examined. Overexpression of the INO1 gene and overproduction of both inositol and the major...
