The Effects of Catabolism Relationships of Leucine and Isoleucine with BAT2 Gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on High Alcohols and Esters.
Title: The Effects of Catabolism Relationships of Leucine and Isoleucine with BAT2 Gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae on High Alcohols and Esters.
BAT1 and BAT2 differential expression and subcellular relocalization has resulted in distribution of the biosynthetic and catabolic roles of ancestral BCAT in two isozymes improving BCAA metabolism and constituting an adaptation to facultative metabolism.
