Abstract

A new mutation has been described which confers resistance to catabolite repression in S. cerevisiae. The mutant allele, termed grr-1 for glucose repression-resistant, is characterized by insensitivity to glucose repression for the cytoplasmic enzymes invertase, maltase, and galactokinase, as well as the mitochondrial enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. Hexokinase levels in grr-1 mutants are .apprx.3-fold higher than the corresponding activity of the parental strain. Although the grr-1 allele is expressed phenotypically similarly to the hex-1 and hex-2 mutations, it represents a new class of mutation.
