Abstract excerpt
The VAM2/VPS41 and VAM6/VPS39 were shown to encode hydrophilic proteins of 113 and 123 kDa, respectively. Deletion of the VAM2 and VAM6 functions resulted in accumulation of numerous vacuole-related structures of 200-400 nm in diameter that were much smaller than the normal vacuoles. Loss of functions of Vam2p and Vam6p resulted in inefficient processings of a set of vacuolar proteins, including proteinase A,...
