Abstract excerpt
1. This work represents the first approach to characterize the transport system of haem pathway precursors, such as delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), in two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a wild type, D27, and a HEM R+ mutant. 2. ALA transport occurs unidirectionally by a sole active system with an apparent KM of 0.10 mM, at the optimum pH of 5.0. ALA uptake is influenced by both the carbon and nitrogen...
