The aim of this work was to characterize the 4-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transport in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae D27 strain, followed by the study of the relationship between 5-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and GABA transport systems. It was found that the general amino acid permease (GAP) is not active in D27 strain, suggesting that GABA incorporation should be mediated by PUT4 and UGA4 permeases. However, after kinetic studies only one system was detected. It was also shown that GABA uptake is competitively inhibited by ALA. GABA incorporation is regulated by the carbon source but not by the nitrogen source. When cells were grown in the presence of GABA, its entrance was very low.

D050485 GABA Plasma Membrane Transport Proteins A family of plasma membrane neurotransmitter transporter proteins that regulates extracellular levels of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID. They differ from GABA RECEPTORS, which signal cellular responses to GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID. They control GABA reuptake into PRESYNAPTIC TERMINALS in the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM through high-affinity sodium-dependent transport.
