Response of ad-2 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to carbon dioxide

Molecular and General Genetics MGG Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

Confirmation that the ad-2 locus of yeast controls the carboxylation of aminoimidazole ribonucleotide (AIR) to 5-amino-4-imidazole carboxylate ribonucleotide (CAIR) is provided by the observation that 21 out of a sample of 113 ad-2 mutants were affected by CO2. 19 of the mutants were stimulated by CO2 and 2 were inhibited. The majority of the CO2-stimulated mutants were confined to one section of the complementation map of the ad-2 locus.
