Abstract excerpt
We show that the vacuolar protein sorting gene VPS44 is identical to NHX1, a gene that encodes a sodium/proton exchanger. The Saccharomyces cerevisiae protein Nhx1p shows high homology to mammalian sodium/proton exchangers of the NHE family. Nhx1p is thought to transport sodium ions into the prevacuole compartment in exchange for protons. Pulse-chase experiments show that approximately 35% of the newly...
