Specificity of trans-inhibition of amino acid transport in baker's yeast. 1977

J Horák, and A Kotyk, and L Ríhová

The trans-inhibition potency of intracellular amino acids on the transport of various amino acids follows the same sequence, viz. Pro(Lys), Phe, Glu, Ala, Gly, Leu, and alpha-aminoisobutyric acid. The same sequence was found for the reciprocal of trans-inhibition constants. It appears that the intracellular amino acid itself or a derivative thereof acts on a component that is common to all amino acid transport systems of baker's yeast.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D000596	Amino Acids	Organic compounds that generally contain an amino (-NH2) and a carboxyl (-COOH) group. Twenty alpha-amino acids are the subunits which are polymerized to form proteins.	Amino Acid,Acid, Amino,Acids, Amino
D001692	Biological Transport	The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.
