GABA induction of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae UGA4 gene depends on the quality of the carbon source: Role of the key transcription factors acting in this process

Yeast cells are able to adapt their metabolism according to the quality of both carbon and nitrogen sources available in the environment. Saccharomyces cerevisiae UGA4 gene encodes a permease capable of transporting γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) into the cells. Yeast uses this amino acid as a nitrogen...
