Kotyk A, et al. (2003) Critical findings on the activation cascade of yeast plasma membrane H+-ATPase. FEMS Microbiol Lett 226(1):175-80
Abstract: Strains of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, deficient in either of its two G-proteins, in the Snf3 and Rgt2 sensors, in the Gpr1 receptor and in various hexokinases were tested for their ability to start the activation cascade with a metabolizable monosaccharide that leads eventually to activation of plasma membrane H(+)-ATPase. The acidification rate after addition of glucose to glucose-grown cells and of galactose to galactose-grown ones, and the rate of ATP hydrolysis by purified plasma membranes in both types of cells were studied. It appears unequivocally that phosphorylation of the monosaccharide is essential for the activation; the role of the Gpa2 protein (possibly in combination with the Gpr1 receptor) is very probable while the two sensors appear to play somewhat ambiguous roles - in the absence of both the activation was actually higher than in the parent strain. The Gpa1 G-protein is not involved in acidification but may function in ATPase activity where, in addition to the phosphorylation step, other factors can play a role. There appear to be alternative pathways leading to the ultimate activation of the H(+)-ATPase, not necessarily involving G-proteins.
