Two new classes of mutants, phoF and phoG, lacking the constitutive acid phosphatase activity, were isolated. They both complemented each other and the phoC mutation. No linkage was detected among these three complementary genes.

When the pH of growth medium containing a limited amount of inorganic phosphate is kept below 3.0, cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae produce repressible alkaline phosphatase but no repressible acid phosphatase. The same cells produce acid phosphatase immediately on shifting the medium pH to 4.0 or a
The phoE locus, one of the loci in which mutations lack the activity for repressible acid phosphatase, was found to be the structural gene for the enzyme by examining the enzymic characteristics of repressible acid phosphatase activity using cell extracts prepared from the leaky phoE mutants, the PH
Wild-type cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultivated in low-Pi medium actively accumulate inorganic phosphate (Pi), while the same cells cultivated in high-Pi medium do not. A recessive constitutive mutant (phoT), for repressible acid phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.2) synthesis, is described. It shows seve
Two dominant uninducible mutant alleles in the gal80 locus were identified. The GAL80s-1 and GAL80s-2 mutants showed novel phenotypes in response to the newly isolated GAL81-1 mutant allele, a dominant constitutive mutation linked to the gal4 locus; the GAL80s-1 GAL81-1 strain was inducible and the
Starting with yeast cells lacking the constitutive alcohol dehydrogenase activity (ADHI), mutants with partially glucose-insensitive formation of ADHII were isolated. Genetic analysis showed that four mutants (designated ADR3c) were linked to the ADHII-structural gene, ADR2, and were cis-dominant. O
