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

▪ Abstract The prospect of specifically controlling gene activities in vivo has become a
defining hallmark of many model organisms of biological research. Where once the aim was …

Reversible phospho-dephosphorylation of proteins is a major mechanism for the control of
cellular functions. By large, Ser and Thr are the most frequently residues phosphorylated in …

Hortaea werneckii, ascomycetous yeast from the order Capnodiales, shows an exceptional
adaptability to osmotically stressful conditions. To investigate this unusual phenotype we …

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 …

As the proper maintenance of intracellular potassium and sodium concentrations is vital for
cell growth, all living organisms have developed a cohort of strategies to maintain proper …

A new YNB medium containing very low concentrations of alkali metal cations has been
developed to carry out experiments to study potassium homoeostasis. Physiological …

Coenzyme A (CoA) is an essential cofactor involved in a range of metabolic pathways
including the activation of long‐chain fatty acids for catabolism. Cells synthesize CoA de …

We identified and characterized Vnx1p, a novel vacuolar monovalent cation/H+ antiporter
encoded by the open reading frame YNL321w from Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Despite the …
