The effect of diffusible acids on potassium ion uptake by yeast.

ABSTRACT: 1. When yeast oxidizes ethanol at different pH values the uptake of K(+) corresponds closely to the amount of acetate accumulated at each pH value. 2. The addition of semicarbazide to the suspension buffered at pH4.75 inhibited both the K(+) uptake and the acetate accumulation by about 50%. 3. The addition of either acetate or propionate to the suspensions markedly increased the K(+) uptake. 4. The addition of acetate to the suspensions lowered the intracellular pH of the yeast from a resting value of pH5.80 to 5.56. 5. The ratio of the initial rate of K(+) uptake to O(2) consumption was 0.77. This ratio was increased to 1.77 in the presence of 10mmol of propionate/l.

Regulation of potassium uptake in Caulobacter crescentus [ChIP-seq]

Project description:Potassium (K+) is an essential physiological element determining membrane potential, intracellular pH, osmotic/turgor pressure, and protein synthesis in cells. Here we describe the regulation of potassium uptake systems in the oligotrophic alpha-proteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus known as a model for asymmetric cell division. We show that C. crescentus can grow in concentrations from the micromolar to the millimolar range by mainly using two K+ transporters to maintain potassium homeostasis, the low affinity Kup and the high affinity Kdp uptake systems. When K+ is not limiting, we found that the kup gene is essential while kdp inactivation does not impact the growth. In contrast, kdp becomes critical but not essential and kup dispensable for growth in K+-limited environments. However, in the absence of kdp, mutations in kup were selected to improve growth in K+-depleted conditions, likely by increasing the affinity of Kup for K+. In addition, mutations in the KdpDE two-component system, which regulates kdpABCDE expression, suggest that the inner membrane sensor regulatory component KdpD mainly works as a phosphatase to limit the growth when cells reach late exponential phase. Our data therefore suggest that KdpE is phosphorylated by another non-cognate histidine kinase. On top of this, we determined the KdpE-dependent and independent K+ transcriptome. Together, our work illustrates how an oligotrophic bacterium responds to fluctuation in K+ availability.

Iron uptake in yeast

Project description:Analysis of iron-regulated gene expression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using cDNA microarrays has identified three putative cell wall proteins that are directly regulated by Aft1p, the major iron-dependent transcription factor in yeast. FIT1, FIT2, and FIT3 (for facilitator of iron transport) were more highly expressed in strains grown in low concentrations of iron and in strains in which AFT1-1(up), a constitutively active allele of AFT1, was expressed. Northern blot analysis confirmed that FIT1, FIT2, and FIT3 mRNA transcript levels were increased 60-230-fold in response to iron deprivation in an Aft1p-dependent manner. Fit1p was localized exclusively to the cell wall by indirect immunofluorescence. Deletion of the FIT genes, individually or in combination, resulted in diminished uptake of iron bound to the siderophores ferrioxamine B and ferrichrome, without diminishing the uptake of ferric iron salts, or the siderophores triacetylfusarinine C and enterobactin. FIT-deletion strains exhibited increased expression of Aft1p target genes as measured by a FET3-lacZ reporter gene or by Arn1p Western blotting, indicating that cells respond to the absence of FIT genes by up-regulating systems of iron uptake. Aft1p activation in FIT-deleted strains occurred when either ferrichrome or ferric salts were used as sources of iron during growth, suggesting that the FIT genes enhance uptake of iron from both sources. Enzymatic digestion of the cell wall resulted in the release of significant amounts of iron from cells, and the relative quantity of iron released was reduced in FIT-deletion strains. Fit1p, Fit2p, and Fit3p may function by increasing the amount of iron associated with the cell wall and periplasmic space.
