Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae that lack vacuolar proton-translocating ATPase (V-ATPase) activity show a well-defined set of Vma- (stands for vacuolar membrane ATPase activity) phenotypes that include pH-conditional growth, increased calcium sensitivity, and the inability to grow on nonfermentable carbon sources. By screening based on these phenotypes and the inability of vma mutants to accumulate the...
