Fine structure analysis of a eukaryotic multifunctional gene

Nature volume 250, pages 630–634 (1974)Cite this article

Abstract

The ilv 1 gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains functions associated with both structural and regulatory genes and therefore is termed a multifunctional gene. The ilv 1 gene product catalyses the first step in isoleucine biosynthesis and is involved in repression of the isoleucine-valine pathway. The intracistronic discrimination of the two functions is presented.
