Abstract
We have analyzed Ca2+ transport activity in defined subcellular fractions of an isogenic set of wild-type and mutant yeast. The results, together with measurements of polypeptide expression levels and promoter::reporter gene activity, show that the Golgi Ca2+-ATPase, Pmr1, is the major Ca2+ pump under normal growth conditions. In the absence of Pmr1, we show a massive, calcineurin-dependent compensatory induction of the vacuolar Ca2+-ATPase, Pmc1. In addition, H+/Ca2+ exchange activity, that may be distinct from the vacuolar exchanger Vcx1, is also increased. Copyright (C) 1999 Federation of European Biochemical Societies.
