RT Journal Article T1 Individual functions of the HAK and TRK potassium transporters of Schwanniomyces occidentalis A1 Bañuelos. María, A1 Madrid González, Ricardo A1 Rodríguez‐Navarro, Alonso AB We have cloned the gene encoding the TRK transporter of the soil yeast Schwanniomyces occidentalis and obtained the HAK1 trk1D and the hak1D TRK1 mutant strains. Analyses of the transport capacities of these mutants have shown that (i) the HAK1 and the TRK1 potassium transporters are the only transporters operating at low and medium K1 concentrations (, 1 mM); (ii) the HAK1 transporter is functional at low pH but fails at high pH; and (iii) the TRK1 transporter functions at neutral and high pH and fails at low pH. At neutral pH, both transporters are functional, but HAK1 is not expressed, except at very low K1 concentrations (, 50 mM) where HAK1 is very effective. TRK1 is also involved in the control of the membrane potential.
