โฆ Synopsis
A dozen mutants of Succhnroniyces cerevisiue, resistant to C8-ATC have been characterized. CR-ATC was previously established as a biologically toxic compound. Frequency of mutants (lo-') was typical for spontaneou? mutations. One very stable mutant was characterized extensively. The genetical analysis revealed that resistance in this mutant was determined by single-gene mutation. The rho" cclls. obtained by ethidiuni bromide (ER) mutagenesis of the resistant strain. werc completely devoid of resistance. A large percentage of rho cells, obtained by a moderate BB treatment of resistant cells werc still able to express resistance to ('8-ATC. Therefore wc hypothesized that. in our particular strain, a cytoplasmic factor is involved in nuclear determination of resistance.

The ENA2 gene encoding a P-type ATPase involved in Na+ and Li+ effluxes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has been isolated. The putative protein encoded by ENA2 differs only in thirteen amino acids from the protein encoded by ENA1/PMR2. However, ENA2 has a very low level of expression and for this reason
