TRK1 and TRK2 encode proteins involved in K+ uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. A kinetic study of Rb+ influx in trk1 TRK2, trk1 TRK2D, and trk1 trk2 mutants reveals that TRK2 shows moderate affinity for Rb+. K(+)-starved trk1 delta TRK2 cells show a low-affinity component accounting for almost the total Vmax of the influx and a moderate-affinity component exhibiting a very low Vmax. Overexpression of TRK2 in trk1 delta TRK2D cells increases the Vmax of the moderate-affinity component, and this component disappears in trk1 delta trk2 delta cells. In contrast, the low-affinity component of Rb+ influx in trk1 delta TRK2 cells is not affected by mutations in TRK2. Consistent with the different levels of activity of the moderate-affinity Rb+ influx, trk1 delta TRK2 cells grow slowly in micromolar K+, trk1 delta TRK2D cells grow rapidly, and trk1 delta trk2 delta cells fail to grow. The existence of a unique K+ uptake system composed of several proteins is also discussed.
TRK1和TRK2编码参与酿酒酵母钾离子摄取的蛋白质。对trk1 TRK2、trk1 TRK2D和trk1 trk2突变体中铷离子流入的动力学研究表明,TRK2对铷离子具有中等亲和力。钾离子饥饿的trk1δTRK2细胞显示出一个低亲和力组分,几乎占流入总量的Vmax,以及一个中等亲和力组分,其Vmax非常低。在trk1δTRK2D细胞中过表达TRK2会增加中等亲和力组分的Vmax,并且该组分在trk1δtrk2δ细胞中消失。相反,trk1δTRK2细胞中铷离子流入的低亲和力组分不受TRK2突变的影响。与中等亲和力铷离子流入的不同活性水平一致,trk1δTRK2细胞在微摩尔浓度的钾离子中生长缓慢,trk1δTRK2D细胞生长迅速,而trk1δtrk2δ细胞无法生长。还讨论了由几种蛋白质组成的独特钾离子摄取系统的存在。
