Abstract excerpt
Intracellular pH conditions many cellular systems, but its mechanisms of regulation and perception are mostly unknown. We have identified two yeast genes important for tolerance to intracellular acidification caused by weak permeable acids. One corresponded to LEU2 and functions by removing the dependency of the leu2 mutant host strain on uptake of extracellular leucine. Leucine transport is inhibited by...
