Abstract excerpt
Amino acids in the environment of Saccharomyces cerevisiae can transcriptionally activate a third of the amino acid permease genes through a signal that originates from the interaction between the extracellular amino acids and an integral plasma membrane protein, Ssy1p. Two plasma membrane-associated proteins, Ptr3p and Ssy5p, participate in the sensing, which results in cleavage of the transcription factors...
