Isolation and characterization of osmosensitive vacuolar mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Oct 1991

Abstract excerpt

The yeast vacuole plays an important role in nitrogen metabolism, storage and intracellular macromolecular degradation. Evidence suggests that it is also involved in osmohomeostasis of the cell. We have taken a mutational approach for the analysis of vacuolar function and biogenesis by the isolat...
