Abstract excerpt
Salt tolerance in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is a complex trait, involving regulation of membrane polarization, Na(+) efflux and sequestration of Na(+) in the vacuole. Since transmembrane transport energized by H(+)-adenosine triphosphatases (ATPases) is common to all of these tolerance mechanisms, the objective of this study was to characterize the responses of the plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase, vacuolar H(+)-ATPase...
