Changes in membrane proteins associated with inhibition of the general amino acid permease of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae)

Open full text 12 citations

Abstract

The general amino acid permease ('Gap') system of the wild-type yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) strain Y185 is inhibited by the uptake and accumulation of its substrate amino acids. Surprisingly, this inhibition persists even after 'pools' of amino acids, accumulated initially, have returned to normal sizes. Recovery from this inhibition depends on a supply of energy and involves the synthesis of a membrane protein component of the Gap system.
