Abstract excerpt
The vacuolar proton pump (V-ATPase) appears to be essential for viability of Dictyostelium cells. To investigate the function of VatM, the 100 kDa transmembrane V-ATPase subunit, we altered its level. By means of homologous recombination, the promoter for the chromosomal vatM gene was replaced with the promoter for the act6 gene, yielding the mutant strain VatMpr. The act6 promoter is much more active in cells...
