Abstract excerpt
pep12/vps6 mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae are defective in delivery of soluble vacuolar hydrolases to the vacuole. Morphological analysis by electron microscopy revealed that pep12 cells accumulate 40- to 50-nm vesicles. Furthermore, pep12 cells have enlarged vacuoles characteristic of class D pep/vps mutants. PEP12 encodes a protein of 288 amino acids that has a C-terminal hydrophobic region and shares...
