title: Genetic interaction between the ero1-1 and leu2 mutations in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
abstract: The conditional ero1-1 mutant, deficient in the ER-localized PDI oxidase Ero1p, is blocked in disulfide bond formation under restrictive conditions, such as high temperature, lack of oxygen, or high concentrations of membrane-permeant thiols. Previous studies of the physiological consequences of the ero1-1 mutation were carried out in a leu2 mutant. The ero1-1 leu2 strain does not grow in standard synthetic complete medium at 30 degrees C, a defect that can be remedied by increasing the L-leucine concentration in the medium or by transforming the ero1-1 leu2 strain with the LEU2 wild-type allele. In addition, the LEU2 gene can partially complement the growth impairment at 37 degrees C of the ero1-1 leu2 mutant. The leucine transporter Bap2p exhibits a dramatic decrease in stability in an ero1-1 strain, which may account for the pronounced leucine demand observed in the ero1-1 leu2 mutant.
