The maltose transporter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae is rapidly degraded
during fermentation in the absence of a nitrogen source. The location and
mechanism of degradation of the transporter have been investigated. Using
mutants defective in endocytosis, we have shown that degradation of this
transporter requires internalization by endocytosis. In addition, studies
of mutants defective in proteasome or vacuolar proteolysis revealed that
degradation occurs in the vacuole and is independent of proteasome
function. The results also revealed that degradation of the maltose
transporter requires Sec18p and raised the question of whether in the
absence of Sec18p activity the internalized maltose transporter is recycled
back to the plasma membrane.
