Abstract excerpt
Although the mechanism of action of the tripeptide-like herbicide bialaphos is well understood, its cellular uptake process remains elusive. We report that a peptide transporter mediates its uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The Japanese sake yeast strain Kyokai 7 (K7) was supersensitive to bialaphos compared to S288C. Disruption of PTR2, which encodes a peptide transporter, alleviated bialaphos sensitivity in...
