Unstable S-Adenosylmethionine synthetase in an ethionine-resistant strain of Neurospora crassa.

E S Jacobson, G S Chen, R L Metzenberg
PMCID: PMC221922  PMID: 144115

Abstract

A pleitropic ethionine-resistant mutant of Neurospora contains an S-adenosylmethionine synthetase that is labile to heat and dialysis but exhibits normal kinetics for methionine and ethionine.
