Abstract excerpt
Kluyveromyces lactis Lac12 permease mediates lactose and low-affinity galactose transports. In this study we investigated the effects of carbon sources on internalization of Lac12 using a LAC12-GFP fusion construct. When galactose- or lactose-grown cells are shifted to a fresh sugar medium, Lac12-GFP is removed from the plasma membrane and is localized intracellularly. Surprisingly, either galactose or lactose in...
