  • Applied and basic aspects of sulfite metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Creator:
    Park, Hoon
    Abstract:
    In an effort to understand the basis for sulfite detoxification in S. cerevisiae, the functions of two genes were analyzed. SSU1, which encodes a plasma membrane protein, was found to be required for efficient sulfite efflux. FZFl-4, a dominant allele of a transcriptional activator of SSUl, was also found to...
