Abstract excerpt
Glucose triggers posttranslational modifications that increase the activity of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae plasma membrane H+-ATPase (Pma1). Glucose activation of yeast H+-ATPase results from the change in two kinetic parameters: an increase in the affinity of the enzyme for ATP, depending on Ser899, and an increase in the Vmax involving Thr912. Our previous studies suggested that Ptk2 mediates the...
