H. Sychrova et al., KINETIC-PROPERTIES OF YEAST LYSINE PERMEASES CODED BY GENES ON MULTI-COPY VECTORS, FEMS microbiology letters, 113(1), 1993, pp. 57-61
Amplification of the LYP1 transport system in the plasma membrane of S
accharomyces cerevisiae did not change the substrate specificity, the
affinity and the pH optimum of the transport system for lysine, but si
gnificantly increased the uptake velocity and accumulation ratio. The
dependence of active lysine uptake and accumulation on pH is probably
given by the properties of the permease itself rather than by the valu
e of available protonmotive force.
