RESUMO
The expression of high-affinity glucose uptake in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains carrying conditional mutations conferring a block of secretion and cell surface growth (sec) revealed a requirement for a functional secretory pathway for derepression of carrier activity. Thus, in strains carrying the sec1-1, sec4-2, sec7-1, sec14-3, or sec17-1 mutation, no high-affinity carrier activity was expressed after a shift to derepressing glucose concentrations at the nonpermissive temperature. In the case of sec18-1, however, derepression of carrier activity did occur at both the permissive and nonpermissive temperature, but not to the same extent as found in the wild-type strain, suggesting that SEC18 function may not be essential for expression of carrier activity. In sec1-1, accumulation of high-affinity carrier activity (or a component thereof) in presecretory vesicles during incubation at the nonpermissive temperature was demonstrated. The presence of a high glucose concentration in the medium did not affect transfer of that accumulated carrier function to the cell surface. Carrier function did not accumulate in strains carrying the other sec mutations. Analysis of the stability of high-affinity carrier activity at 37 degrees C demonstrated rapid and unexpected loss of carrier activity not affected by the presence of glucose in the medium. Thus, blockage of cell surface growth seems to affect turnover rates of hexose carrier activities.
