Abstract
The yeast peroxisomal adenine nucleotide carrier, Ant1p, was shown to catalyse unidirectional transport in addition to exchange of substrates. In both transport modes, proton movement occurs. Nucleotide hetero-exchange is H+-compensated and electroneutral. Furthermore, microscopic fluorescence imaging of a pH-sensitive green fluorescent protein targeted to peroxisomes shows that Ant1p is involved in the formation of a DeltapH across the peroxisomal membrane, acidic inside.Entities:
