GAL2 codes for a membrane-bound subunit of the galactose permease in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

The gene encoding the galactose permease of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (GAL2) was cloned. The clone restores galactose permease activity to gal2 yeasts and is regulated by galactose in a manner similar to other GAL gene products (GAL1, -7, and -10). Experiments with temperature-conditional secretory mutants indicated that transport of the GAL2 gene product to the cell surface requires a functional secretory pathway. In addition, gene fusions were constructed between the GAL2 gene and the Escherichia coli lacZ gene. The GAL2-lacZ gene fusions code for galactose- regulated beta-galactosidase activity in yeasts. The beta-galactosidase activity was found to be membrane bound.[1]
