Yeast mutants permeable to dTMP (tup) were selected and two new complementation groups (tup5andtup7) were identified. Assay of the levels of both acid and alkaline phosphatase in cells grown under either repressing (5 mm PO4-3) or derepressing (0.03 mm PO4-3) conditions indicated that, in general,tupmutations cause cells to be defective in their regulation of phosphatase synthesis. In addition, three of thetupmutations (tup1, tup4andtup7) displayed markedly elevated rates of inorganic phosphate transport. Thetup7locus was found to be tightly centromere-linked on the right arm of chromosomeXV, and was shown to be allelic with thepho80regulatory locus on the basis of both genetic and biochemical criteria. Analysis of other mutations known to affect phosphatase levels (pho) indicated that some also conferred permeability to dTMP. Possible allelic relationships betweentupgenes and certain of thesephomutations are discussed. Regardless of the culture conditions, wild-type strains were not permeable to dTMP; in contrast, it was found in the course of this work that normal yeast cells were permeable to dUMP and that dUMP permeability was regulated by the concentration of inorganic phosphate present in the medium used to grow the cells. Thus, permeability to 5′-mononucleotides appears to be under coordinate control with phosphatase synthesis.
