Abstract:Sugar substrates which depress the intracellular level of inorganic phosphate in baker's yeast (d-glucose,d-fructose,d-mannose, sucrose, as well as maltose andd-galactose after appropriate induction) also make transmembrane flux of phosphate anions possible. Acetate and ethanol, although readily oxidized, as well as nonmetabolized sugars, do not produce the effect. Phosphate uptake in whole cells (but not in protoplasts) is accelerated by preincubation with substrate either aerobically or anaerobically but the actual presence of substrate in the incubation medium is required for transport to take place. Starved cells take up phosphate from the medium with aK m of 3mm, the half-activation concentration by glucose being 18mm, the amount taken up being constant under given conditions (40 μmol/g dry wt. here). Phosphate-rich cells lose phosphate to the medium in the presence of a suitable substrate. The uptake process is characterized by an activation energy of 13400 cal/mol at 10−6 m phosphate and of 9400 cal/mol at 10−3 m phosphate. The process shows two optima at pH 5.0 and 7.0. A short-lived intermediate of fermentative sugar metabolism is postulated as essential for the translocation of phosphate across the yeast membrane.
