ABSTRACT
Vacuolar acidification has been proposed to play a key role in number of cellular processes, including protein sorting, zymogen activation, and maintenance intracellular pH. We investigated the significance vacuolar by cloning mutagenizing gene for yeast proton-translocating ATPase 60-kilodalton subunit (VAT2). Cells carrying vat2 null allele were viable; however, these cells severely defective growth medium buffered at neutral Vacuoles isolated from bearing completely devoid activity. The pH lumen mutation was 7.1, compared with wild-type 6.1, as determined flow cytometric assay. These results indicate that complex is essential low-pH state vacuole crucial normal growth. acidification-defective mutant exhibited activation but displayed minor defect sorting.
