Description:
A mutant allele of the chromosomal locus corresponding to the cloned actin gene of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been constructed by DNA transformation with a hybrid plasmid which integrates into, and thereby disrupts, the protein-encoding sequences of the gene. In a diploid strain of yeast, disruption of the actin gene on one chromosome results in a mutation that segregates as a recessive lethal tightly linked to a selectable genetic marker on the integrated plasmid. The actin gene, therefore, must encode an essential function for yeast cell growth.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Shortle, D -- Haber, J E -- Botstein, D -- GM18973/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM20056/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM21253/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1982 Jul 23;217(4557):371-3.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7046050" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
