Ktd1 is a phospho-regulated member of the Dup240 family that mediates defence against killer toxin K28

The DUP240 gene family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes ten proteins containing two transmembrane domains (TMDs).

The DUP240 gene family in Saccharomyces cerevisiae encodes ten proteins containing two transmembrane domains (TMDs). Despite decades of interest driven by their high sequence similarity, little functional information exists regarding whether Dup240 family members share redundant…
