Abstract excerpt
To better understand the process of protein sorting to the yeast vacuole, the VPS8 gene was identified and characterized. VPS8 encodes a membrane-associated hydrophilic protein of 135 kDa (Vps8p), which is required for the accurate sorting of the vacuolar hydrolase, carboxypeptidase Y (CPY). vps8 mutant cells missort and secrete CPY as well as a second soluble vacuolar hydrolase, proteinase A. In vps8 mutants,...
