Abstract excerpt
The HOM3 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae codes for aspartate kinase, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of the metabolic flux that leads to threonine biosynthesis. With the aim of obtaining yeast strains able to overproduce threonine in a controlled way, we have placed the HOM3-R2 mutant allele, which causes expression of a feedback-insensitive enzyme, under the control of four distinctive regulatable...
