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

β¦ Synopsis
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 GAL80s-2 GAL81-1 strain was uninducible. Many galactose positive revertants from the GAL80s-2 GAL81-1 strain were isolated. It was proved that each revertant was due to a secondary mutation either in the gal80 or GAL81 locus, whereas revertants due to mutation at the supposed controlling site for the structural gene cluster of the galactose-pathway enzymes have not been isolated.
