Alpha-IPM synthase catalyzes the first committed step in leucine biosynthesis in the yeast S. cerevisiae. LEU4 is known to encode this enzyme activity. A second gene, LEU5, has been proposed to encode a second enzyme with this activity. We cloned LEU5 and genetically defined the locus. LEU5 maps to
Serine and glycine biosynthesis in yeast proceed by two pathways; a "glycolytic" pathway, using 3-phosphoglycerate, and a "gluconeogenic" pathway, using glyoxylate. We used a mutation in the cat1 gene to abolish the glucose-repressible "gluconeogenic" pathway and re-isolated two mutants, serl and se
