Induction of the methionine-activating enzyme in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. J. Bacteriol. 87:920-923. 1964.-The methionine-activating enzyme was induced in yeast in the presence of methionine, resulting in an accumulation of S-adenosylmethionine. Formation of the sulfonium derivative prevented the accumulation of high levels of free methionine in induced cells. The physiological significance of this phenomenon is discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
