P-type ATPases form a large superfamily of cation and lipid pumps. They are remarkably
simple with only a single catalytic subunit and carry out large domain motions during …

All living organisms require nutrient minerals for growth and have developed mechanisms to
acquire, utilize, and store nutrient minerals effectively. In the aqueous cellular environment …

The ETR1 receptor from Arabidopsis binds the gaseous hormone ethylene. A copper ion
associated with the ethylene-binding domain is required for high-affinity ethylene-binding …

The plasma membrane ATPase of plants and fungi is a hydrogen ion pump1. The proton
gradient generated by the enzyme drives the active transport of nutrients by H+-symport. In …

The proton-pumping ATPase (H+-ATPase) of the plant plasma membrane generates the
proton motive force across the plasma membrane that is necessary to activate most of the …

Trehalose (aD-glucopyranosyl aD-glucopyranoside) is an important storage compound in
vegetative cells and spores offungi. Biosynthesis of trehalose is mediated by trehalose-6 …

The maintenance of appropriate intracellular concentrations of alkali metal cations,
principally K+ and Na+, is of utmost importance for living cells, since they determine cell …

BACKGROUND: Nearly all processes in living cells are pH dependent, which is why
intracellular pH (pHi) is a tightly regulated physiological parameter in all cellular systems …

Vacuolar proton-translocating ATPases (V-ATPases) play a central role in organelle
acidification in all eukaryotic cells. To address the role of the yeast V-ATPase in vacuolar …

In the presence of glucose, yeast undergoes an important remodelling of its metabolism.
There are changes in the concentration of intracellular metabolites and in the stability of …
