The yeast YCC5 gene encodes a putative amino acid
permease and is homologous to GNP1 (encoding a
high-affinity glutamine permease). Using strains with disruptions in
the genes for multiple permeases, we demonstrated that Ycc5 (which we
have renamed Agp1) is involved in the transport of asparagine and
glutamine, performed a kinetic analysis of this activity, and showed
that AGP1 expression is subject to nitrogen repression.
