The Acidic Amino-acid Permease of Free

Abstract

SUMMARY: A single permease is responsible for the active transport of -glutamate, -aspartate and -cysteate in . Apparent values are 180 , 100 and 190 respectively. The transport of glutamate occurs against a concentration gradient of at least 1:200, is inhibited by azide and cyanide, and shows a pH optimum of 5.0 and a temperature optimum of 45 °C.
