A high-affinity molybdate transporter in eukaryotes.
Molybdenum is an essential element for almost all living beings, which, in the form of a molybdopterin-cofactor, participates in the active site of enzymes involved in key reactions of carbon, nitrogen, and sulfur metabolism. This metal is taken up by cells in form of the oxyanion molybdate. Bacteria acquire molybdate by an ATP-binding-cassette (ABC) transport system in a widely studied process...
متن کاملYct1p, a novel, high-affinity, cysteine-specific transporter from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Cysteine transport in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is mediated by at least eight different permeases, none of which are specific for cysteine. We describe a novel, high-affinity, (K(m) = 55 microM), cysteine-specific transporter encoded by the ORF YLL055w that was initially identified by a combined strategy of data mining, bioinformatics, and genetic analysis. Null mutants of YLL055w, but...
متن کاملHgt1p, a high affinity glutathione transporter from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
A high affinity glutathione transporter has been identified, cloned, and characterized from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This transporter, Hgt1p, represents the first high affinity glutathione transporter to be described from any system so far. The strategy for the identification involved investigating candidate glutathione transporters from the yeast genome sequence project followed by ...
متن کاملThe transport of carboxylic acids and important role of the Jen1p transporter during the development of yeast colonies.
On solid substrates, yeast colonies pass through distinct developmental phases characterized by the changes in pH of their surroundings from acidic to nearly alkaline and vice versa. At the beginning of the alkali phase colonies start to produce ammonia, which functions as a quorum-sensing molecule inducing the reprogramming of cell metabolism. Such reprogramming includes, among others, the act...
متن کاملDevelopment of a high-affinity inhibitor of the prostaglandin transporter.
Prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) triggers a vast array of biological signals and physiological events. The prostaglandin transporter (PGT) controls PGE(2) influx and is rate-limiting for PGE(2) metabolism and signaling termination. PGT global knockout mice die on postnatal day 1 from patent ductus arteriosus. A high-affinity PGT inhibitor would thus be a powerful tool for studying PGT function in ad...
