This paper not only shows that lesions in the yeast genome may be complemented by coding sequences from the malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, but also demonstrates that the recombinant yeast expressing a parasite protein (in this case, dihydrofolate reductase) can be used to screen for anti-malarial drugs.

A technical tour de force which should stimulate renewed interest in the use of smart yeast screens in drug discovery. The use of chimeric proteins to establish effective coupling of a membrane receptor protein to a yeast reporter system will, it is hoped, provide a general strategy that may be successfully employed in the design of a wide range of such systems.
