36

Receptor for a factor receptor, transcribed in alpha cells and required for mating by alpha cells, couples to MAP kinase cascade to mediate pheromone response; ligand bound receptors are endocytosed and recycled to the plasma membrane; GPCR,

N

LEU4

29

7

Alpha-isopropylmalate synthase (2-isopropylmalate synthase); the main isozyme responsible for the first step in the leucine biosynthesis pathway

N

ILV3

24

7

Dihydroxyacid dehydratase, catalyzes third step in the common pathway leading to biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids

N

ILV2

22

7

Acetolactate synthase, catalyses the first common step in isoleucine and valine biosynthesis and is the target of several classes of inhibitors, localizes to the mitochondria; expression of the gene is under general amino acid control

N

SNZ1

20

6

Protein involved in vitamin B6 biosynthesis; member of a stationary phase-induced gene family; coregulated with SNO1; interacts with Snolp and with Yhrl98p, perhaps as a multiprotein complex containing other Snz and Sno proteins

N

ALD5
