< jats: p> A method is described for isolating mutants of< jats: italic> Saccharomyces cerevisiae which have lost repressibility by exogenous arginine for ornithine transcarbamylase.< jats: p> Besides permeability mutants, three complementary classes of mutations were found: argRI, argRII and argRIII which are recessive and define three loci. No evidence for a linkage between any of these three loci or with the gene coding for ornithine transcarbamylase has been obtained.< jats: p> Strains bearing mutations at either of these loci cannot be distinguished on a phenotype basis: after growth on minimal medium, the< jats: sc> l‐ornithine carbamoyl transferase activity is twice that of the wild type strain; the mutations modify neither the growth rate nor the permeability to arginine.< jats: p> The mutations might affect the structure of an hetero‐polypeptidic aporepressor.< jats: p> The level of ornithine transcarbamylase in diploids is proportional to the number of argF< jats: sup>+ genes in regulated as well as in non‐regulated cells.
