Anilinonaphthalene sulfonate fluorescence and amino acid transport in yeast. 1982

J Slavík, and J Horák, and L Ríhová, and A Kotyk

Fluorescence of 1-anilinonaphthalene-8-sulfonate in yeast membranes appears to be caused predominantly by binding to lipids (ANS protein:ANS lipid approximately 1 : 20) as indicated by the fluorescence lifetime, degree of polarization, and excitation spectra. It was insensitive to short-circuiting the membrane potential. Fluorescence intensity increased as cells (especially after pretreatment with energy donors such as glucose) were exposed to some amono acids, in particular, aspartic and glutamic acids. The character of fluorescence shifted to that of protein-bound ANS, suggesting an exposure of new protein sites accessible to the probe. This shift could be prevented by inhibitors of energy transduction as well as of transport. The K1/2 of the shift was at 2.5 mM aspartic acid.
