Abstract excerpt
ATP-binding cassette (ABC) proteins transport a diverse collection of substrates. It is presumed that these proteins couple ATP hydrolysis to substrate transport, yet ATPase activity has been demonstrated for only a few. To provide direct evidence for such activity in Ste6p, the yeast ABC protein required for the export of a-factor mating pheromone, we established conditions for purification of Ste6p in...
