L-Asparagine auxotrophs of Saccharomyces cerevisiae: genetic and phenotypic characterization.
AUTOR(ES)

RESUMO
L-Asparagine auxotrophy in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is the result of mutation in each of two unlinked cistrons, ASN1 and ASN2. Mutation in only one of these cistrons yields growth indistinguishable from that of wild-type cells under a variety of nutritional stresses. Relatively high concentrations of L-asparagine are required to permit maximal growth of the auxotrophs, and the amino acid requirement cannot be satisfied by a variety of other amino acids that serve as nitrogen sources for cell growth. Although reversion of the mutations can occur, haploid populations of cells containing only low frequencies of prototrophs can be maintained easily. In diploid cells heteroallelic for certain combinations of alleles of the two genes, mitotic recombination gives rise to prototrophic cells that accumulate to high frequency in populations of the cells.
