Spores are an integral part of the life cycle of the gross majority of fungi. Their morphology
and the mode of formation are both highly variable among the fungi, as is their resistance to …

This review summarizes knowledge concerning a ubiquitous plasma transmembraneprotein
family that mediates nucleobase or ascorbate secondary active transport (NAT). We show …

Early genetic and physiological work in bacteria and fungi has suggested the presence of
highly specific nucleobase transport systems. Similar transport systems are now known to …

Transporters are ubiquitous proteins mediating the translocation of solutes across cell
membranes, a biological process involved in nutrition, signaling, neurotransmission, cell …

In this work we unmask a novel downregulation mechanism of the uric acid/xanthine
transporter UapA, the prototype member of the ubiquitous Nucleobase‐Ascorbate …

The coding potential of the genome of E. coli K-12 includes YgfO and YicE, two members of
the evolutionarily conserved NAT/NCS2 transporter family that are highly homologous to …

Transporters are transmembrane proteins mediating the selective uptake or efflux of solutes,
metabolites, drugs, or ions across cellular membranes. Despite their immense biological …

UapA, a member of the NAT/NCS2 family, is a high affinity, high capacity, uric acid-
xanthine/H+ symporter of Aspergillus nidulans. We have previously presented evidence …

To characterize the mechanisms involved in glucose transport, in the filamentous fungus
Aspergillus nidulans, we have identified four glucose transporter encoding genes hxtB-E …

Transport assays allow the direct kinetic analysis of a specific transporter by measuring
apparent K m and V max values, and permit the characterization of substrate specificity …
