Maintenance of proper intracellular concentrations of monovalent cations, mainly sodium
and potassium, is a requirement for survival of any cell. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces …

Metal ions are critical to a wide range of biological processes. Among them, lithium (Li) has
been recognised for its benefit as a treatment for bipolar disorder (BD). However, we are yet …

Modeling of ion transport via plasma membrane needs identification and quantitative
understanding of the involved processes. Brief characterization of main ion transport …

The maintenance of potassium homeostasis is crucial for all types of cells, including
Candida glabrata. Three types of plasma-membrane systems mediating potassium influx …

Stress triggers complex transcriptional responses, which include both gene activation and
repression. We used time-resolved reporter assays in living yeast cells to gain insights into …

In baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), Trk1, a member of the superfamily of K-
transporters (SKT), is the main K+ uptake system under conditions when its concentration in …

A high intracellular concentration of potassium (200–300 mmol/L) is essential for many yeast
cell functions, such as the regulation of cell volume and pH, maintenance of membrane …

Yeasts usually have one or two high-affinity potassium transporters. Two complete and one
interrupted gene encoding three types of putative potassium uptake system exist in Candida …

Background Ion homeostasis is an essential property of living organisms. The yeast
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ideal model organism to investigate ion homeostasis at all …

In the present work, we have extended a weak coupling theory (Bakhshandeh et al., 2011)
for systems with added 1: 1 electrolyte. To study the accuracy of the developed theory, we …
