Abstract
Yeast strains carrying the single nuclear mutation pep4.3 are deficient in the activity of a number of vacuolar hydrolases. This paper demonstrates that the pep4.3 mutation also renders yeast more sensitive to the growth inhibitory effects of ethanol. This sensitivity to ethanol is a temperature-conditional phenomenon and suggests some general effect of the pep4.3 mutation on yeast membranes. © 1983 Science and Technology Letters.
