the accumulation of amethopterin in a Pediococcus cerevisiae strain resistant to this analogue was about 30% of that in P. cerevisiae/PteGlu, the sensitive parent. The uptake in the resistant strain was strictly glucose dependent, whereas in the sensitive parent about 16% accumulation occurred in absence of glucose. The transport in both strains was inhibited by iodoacetate and KF. Amethopterin uptake exhibited saturation kinetics with an apparent Km of 5 muM in P. cerevisiae/AMr and 0.5 muM in… CONTINUE READING
