Abstract
Previous descriptions by whole-cell patch clamping of the calcium-inhibited non-selective cation channel (NSC1) in the plasma membrane of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (H. Bihler, C.L. Slayman, A. Bertl, FEBS Lett. 432 (1998); S.K. Roberts, M. Fischer, G.K. Dixon, D.Sanders, J. Bacteriol. 181 (1999)) suggested that this inwardly rectifying pathway could relieve the growth inhibition normally imposed on yeast by disruption of its potassium transporters, Trk1p and Trk2p. Now, demonstration of multiple parallel effects produced by various agonists and antagonists on both NSC1 currents and growth (of trk1 Delta trk2 Delta strains), has identified this non-selective cation pathway as the primary low-affinity uptake route for potassium ions in yeast. Factors which suppress NSC1-mediated inward currents and inhibit growth of trk1 Delta trk2 Delta cells include (i) elevating extracellular calcium over the range of 10 microM-10 mM, (ii) lowering extracellular pH over the range 7.5-4, (iii) blockade of NSC1 by hygromycin B, and (iv) to a lesser extent by TEA(+). Growth of trk1 Delta trk2 Delta cells is also inhibited by lithium and ammonium; however, these ions do not inhibit NSC1, but instead enter yeast cells via NSC1. Growth inhibition by lithium ions is probably a toxic effect, whereas growth inhibition by ammonium ions probably results from competitive inhibition, i.e. displacement of intracellular potassium by entering ammonium.
