We review the mechanisms responsible for amino acid homeostasis in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae and other fungi. Amino acid homeostasis is essential for cell growth and survival …

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the molecular aspects of amino acid transport
and its regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A distinctive feature of the genus …

Lower eukaryotes such as the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the filamentous fungus
Aspergillus nidulans possess a multiplicity of amino acid transporters or permeases which …

The delivery to the plasma membrane of the general amino acid permease, Gap1p, of
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is regulated by the quality of the nitrogen source in the growth …

Mutations in SSY1 and PTR3 were identified in a genetic selection for components required
for the proper uptake and compartmentalization of histidine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae …

Amino acid transporters of the yeast plasma membrane (permeases) belong to a family of
integral membrane proteins with pronounced structural similarity. We present evidence that …

Seven genes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae are predicted to code for membrane-spanning
proteins (designated AVT1–7) that are related to the neuronal γ-aminobutyric acid-glycine …

In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, mutations at the GAP1 locus selectively abolish the activity of
the general amino acid transport system. This permease catalyses active transport of …

All known amino-acid permeases (AAPs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae belong to a single
family of homologous proteins. Genes of 15 AAPs were overexpressed in different strains …

Intracellular sorting of the general amino acid permease (Gap1p) in Saccharomyces
cerevisiae depends on availability of amino acids such that at low amino acid concentrations …
