Abstract
Phosphorus is essential in all cells' structural, metabolic and regulatory functions. For fungal cells that import inorganic phosphate (Pi) up a steep concentration gradient, surface Pi transporters are critical capacitators of growth. Fungi must deploy Pi transporters that enable optimal Pi uptake in pH and Pi concentration ranges prevalent in their environments. Single, triple and quadruple mutants were used to characterize the four Pi transporters we identified for the human fungal pathogen Candida albicans, which must adapt to alkaline conditions during invasion of the host bloodstream and deep organs. A high-affinity Pi transporter, Pho84, was most efficient across the widest pH range while another, Pho89, showed high-affinity characteristics only within one pH unit of neutral. Two low-affinity Pi transporters, Pho87 and Fgr2, were active only in acidic conditions. Only Pho84 among the Pi transporters was clearly required in previously identified Pi-related functions including Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 signaling, oxidative stress resistance and hyphal growth. We used in vitro evolution and whole genome sequencing as an unbiased forward genetic approach to probe adaptation to prolonged Pi scarcity of two quadruple mutant lineages lacking all 4 Pi transporters. Lineage-specific genomic changes corresponded to divergent success of the two lineages in fitness recovery during Pi limitation. Initial, large-scale genomic alterations like aneuploidies and loss of heterozygosity eventually resolved, as populations gained small-scale mutations. Severity of some phenotypes linked to Pi starvation, like cell wall stress hypersensitivity, decreased in parallel to evolving populations' fitness recovery in Pi scarcity, while severity of others like membrane stress responses diverged from Pi scarcity fitness. Among preliminary candidate genes for contributors to fitness recovery, those with links to TORC1 were overrepresented. Since Pi homeostasis differs substantially between fungi and humans, adaptive processes to Pi deprivation may harbor small-molecule targets that impact fungal growth, stress resistance and virulence.

Abstract
Marine diatoms express genes encoding potential phosphate transporter and alkaline phosphatase (APase) under phosphate-limited (-P) condition. This indicates that diatoms use high-affinity phosphate uptake system with organic phosphate hydration. The function of molecules playing roles for Pi uptake was determined in this study. Pi uptake and APase activity of two marine diatoms, Phaeodactylum tricornutum and Thalassiosira pseudonana, were monitored during acclimation to -P condition. The transcript levels of Pi transporter were analyzed, and Pi transporters were localized with GFP tagging in diatom cells. KO mutants of plasma membrane solute carrier proteins (SLC34s) or APase were established, and their phenotype was evaluated. Some Na+ /Pi transporter candidates, SLC34s in P. tricornutum and T. pseudonana, increased transcript under -P condition. Whole-cell Pi transport was specifically stimulated by sodium ion but independent of potassium, lithium, or proton. Genome-editing KO of PtSLC34-5 and APase (Pt49678) in P. tricornutum was highly inhibitory for Pi uptake, and KO of TpSLC34-2 was also highly inhibitory for Pi uptake in T. pseudonana. SLC34s and APase were co-expressed under -P conditions in marine diatoms. SLC34s play a major role in the initial acclimation stage of diatom cells to -P condition and APase plays an increasing role in the prolonged Pi-starved condition.

Abstract
In budding yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the phosphate signalling and response pathway, known as PHO pathway, monitors phosphate cytoplasmic levels by controlling genes involved in scavenging, uptake and utilization of phosphate. Recent attempts to understand the phosphate starvation response in other ascomycetes have suggested the existence of both common and novel components of the budding yeast PHO pathway in these ascomycetes. In this review, we discuss the components of PHO pathway, their roles in maintaining phosphate homeostasis in yeast and their conservation across ascomycetes. The role of high-affinity transporter, Pho84, in sensing and signalling of phosphate has also been discussed.

Abstract
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae high-affinity phosphate transporter Pho89 is a member of the inorganic phosphate (Pi) transporter (PiT) family, and shares significant homology with the type III Na(+)/Pi symporters, hPit1 and hPit2. Currently, detailed biochemical and biophysical analyses of Pho89 to better understand its transport mechanisms are limited, owing to the lack of purified Pho89 in an active form. In the present study, we expressed functional Pho89 in the cell membrane of Pichia pastoris, solubilized it in Triton X-100 and foscholine-12, and purified it by immobilized nickel affinity chromatography combined with size exclusion chromatography. The protein eluted as an oligomer on the gel filtration column, and SDS/PAGE followed by western blotting analysis revealed that the protein appeared as bands of approximately 63, 140 and 520 kDa, corresponding to the monomeric, dimeric and oligomeric masses of the protein, respectively. Proteoliposomes containing purified and reconstituted Pho89 showed Na(+)-dependent Pi transport activity driven by an artificially imposed electrochemical Na(+) gradient. This implies that Pho89 operates as a symporter. Moreover, its activity is sensitive to the Na(+) ionophore monensin. To our knowledge, this study represents the first report on the functional reconstitution of a Pi-coupled PiT family member.

Abstract
The maintenance of appropriate intracellular concentrations of alkali metal cations, principally K(+) and Na(+), is of utmost importance for living cells, since they determine cell volume, intracellular pH, and potential across the plasma membrane, among other important cellular parameters. Yeasts have developed a number of strategies to adapt to large variations in the concentrations of these cations in the environment, basically by controlling transport processes. Plasma membrane high-affinity K(+) transporters allow intracellular accumulation of this cation even when it is scarce in the environment. Exposure to high concentrations of Na(+) can be tolerated due to the existence of an Na(+), K(+)-ATPase and an Na(+), K(+)/H(+)-antiporter, which contribute to the potassium balance as well. Cations can also be sequestered through various antiporters into intracellular organelles, such as the vacuole. Although some uncertainties still persist, the nature of the major structural components responsible for alkali metal cation fluxes across yeast membranes has been defined within the last 20 years. In contrast, the regulatory components and their interactions are, in many cases, still unclear. Conserved signaling pathways (e.g., calcineurin and HOG) are known to participate in the regulation of influx and efflux processes at the plasma membrane level, even though the molecular details are obscure. Similarly, very little is known about the regulation of organellar transport and homeostasis of alkali metal cations. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date vision of the mechanisms responsible for alkali metal cation transport and their regulation in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and to establish, when possible, comparisons with other yeasts and higher plants.

Abstract
Membrane transport systems active in cellular inorganic phosphate (P(i)) acquisition play a key role in maintaining cellular P(i) homeostasis, independent of whether the cell is a unicellular microorganism or is contained in the tissue of a higher eukaryotic organism. Since unicellular eukaryotes such as yeast interact directly with the nutritious environment, regulation of P(i) transport is maintained solely by transduction of nutrient signals across the plasma membrane. The individual yeast cell thus recognizes nutrients that can act as both signals and sustenance. The present review provides an overview of P(i) acquisition via the plasma membrane P(i) transporters of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the regulation of internal P(i) stores under the prevailing P(i) status.

Abstract
Yeast cells starved for inorganic phosphate on a glucose-containing medium arrest growth and enter the resting phase G0. We show that re-addition of phosphate rapidly affects well known protein kinase A targets: trehalase activation, trehalose mobilization, loss of heat resistance, repression of STRE-controlled genes and induction of ribosomal protein genes. Phosphate-induced activation of trehalase is independent of protein synthesis and of an increase in ATP. It is dependent on the presence of glucose, which can be detected independently by the G-protein coupled receptor Gpr1 and by the glucose-phosphorylation dependent system. Addition of phosphate does not trigger a cAMP signal. Despite this, lowering of protein kinase A activity by mutations in the TPK genes strongly reduces trehalase activation. Inactivation of phosphate transport by deletion of PHO84 abolishes phosphate signalling at standard concentrations, arguing against the existence of a transport-independent receptor. The non-metabolizable phosphate analogue arsenate also triggered signalling. Constitutive expression of the Pho84, Pho87, Pho89, Pho90 and Pho91 phosphate carriers indicated pronounced differences in their transport and signalling capacities in phosphate-starved cells. Pho90 and Pho91 sustained highest phosphate transport but did not sustain trehalase activation. Pho84 sustained both transport and rapid signalling, whereas Pho87 was poor in transport but positive for signalling. Pho89 displayed very low phosphate transport and was negative for signalling. Although the results confirmed that rapid signalling is independent of growth recovery, long-term mobilization of trehalose was much better correlated with growth recovery than with trehalase activation. These results demonstrate that phosphate acts as a nutrient signal for activation of the protein kinase A pathway in yeast in a glucose-dependent way and they indicate that the Pho84 and Pho87 carriers act as specific phosphate sensors for rapid phosphate signalling.

Abstract
Membrane transport systems for P(i) transport are key elements in maintaining homeostasis of P(i) in organisms as diverse as bacteria and human. Two Na-P(i) cotransporter families with well-described functional properties in vertebrates, namely NaPi-II and NaPi-III, show conserved structural features with prokaryotic origin. A clear vertical relationship can be established among the mammalian protein family NaPi-III, a homologous system in C. elegans, the yeast system Pho89, and the bacterial P(i) transporter Pit. An alternative lineage connects the mammalian NaPi-II-related transporters with homologous proteins from Caenorhabditis elegans and Vibrio cholerae. The present review focuses on the molecular evolution of the NaPi-II protein family. Preliminary results indicate that the NaPi-II homologue cloned from V. cholerae is indeed a functional P(i) transporter when expressed in Xenopus oocytes. The closely related NaPi-II isoforms NaPi-IIa and NaPi-IIb are responsible for regulated epithelial Na-dependent P(i) transport in all vertebrates. Most species express two different NaPi-II proteins with the exception of the flounder and Xenopus laevis, which rely on only a single isoform. Using an RT-PCR-based approach with degenerate primers, we were able to identify NaPi-II-related mRNAs in a variety of vertebrates from different families. We hypothesize that the original NaPi-IIb-related gene was duplicated early in vertebrate development. The appearance of NaPi-IIa correlates with the development of the mammalian nephron.

Abstract
Spt7p is a new global transcription factor in Saccharomyces cerevisiae(Gansheroff et al., 1995). We report here that the activities of high affinity phosphate transport and acid phosphatase in particular were decreased in a spt7 null mutant. Northern blot experiments revealed that transcription of the PHO84 and PHO5 genes was impaired in this mutant; expression of the PHO regulatory genes, PHO4 and PHO2, was normal. Spt7p is thus linked with expression of several structural genes of the PHO regulon in yeast.

Abstract
Chloride uptake into yeast was measured as a function of pH. A small amount of uptake was seen at pH values of 3.0 and 4.0; at pH 6.0 chloride uptake was substantially less than the uptake of phosphate and rubidium. Because chloride uptake is inefficient, we expressed the putative mammalian chloride channel, pI(Cln), in yeast and observed a chloride-selective current when total membrane protein was reconstituted into lipid bilayers. The current was inhibited by a specific chloride channel blocker, 5-nitro-2-(3-phenylpropylamino)-benzoic acid. These results suggest that yeast may serve as a means to characterize chloride channels from other organisms.

Abstract
The PHO84 and PHO89 genes of Saccharomyces cerevisiae encode two high-affinity phosphate cotransporters of the plasma membrane. Hydropathy analysis suggests a secondary structure arrangements of the proteins in 12 transmembrane domains. The derepressible Pho84 and Pho89 transporters appear to have characteristic similarities with the phosphate transporters of Neurospora crassa. The Pho84 protein catalyzes a proton-coupled phosphate transport at acidic pH, while the Pho89 protein catalyzes a sodium-dependent phosphate uptake at alkaline pH. The Pho84 transporter can be stably overproduced in the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli, purified and reconstituted in a functional state into proteoliposomes.

Abstract
The extracellular phosphate concentration permissive for the expression of different amounts of the active high-affinity Pho84 phosphate transporter in the plasma membrane as well as the PHO84 messenger RNA levels in low-phosphate-grown Saccharomyces cerevisiae cells is very narrow and essential for a tight regulation of the transporter. The Pho84 transporter undergoes a rapid degradation once the supply of phosphate and/or carbon source is exhausted.

Abstract
Two genes isolated from Schwanniomyces occidentalis, ENA1 and ENA2, encode P-type ATPases highly homologous to the Na-ATPases of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and complement the Na+ sensitivity of an S. cerevisiae mutant strain lacking its own Na-ATPases. The expression of both ENA1 and ENA2 was highly dependent on a high external pH, but whereas a high pH was sufficient for the expression of ENA2, the expression of ENA1 required a high pH and the presence of Na+. Disruption of ENA1 rendered the cells less tolerant to Na+ than the wild-type strain and decreased their capacity for Na+ extrusion. Disruption of ENA2 did not affect Na+ tolerance, but decreased both the growth at high pH and K+ efflux. We discuss these results and propose that fungal Na-ATPases should be considered alkali cation ATPases. By sequence comparison, we found that fungal Na-ATPases form a homogeneous group that can be distinguished from other cation-pumping P-type ATPases, except from the cta3 Ca-ATPase of Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Abstract
All eukaryotic cells contain a wide variety of proteins embedded in the plasma and internal membranes, which ensure transmembrane solute transport. It is now established that a large proportion of these transport proteins can be grouped into families apparently conserved throughout organisms. This article presents the data of an in silicio analysis aimed at establishing a preliminary classification of membrane transport proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This analysis was conducted at a time when about 65% of all yeast genes were available in public databases. In addition to approximately 60 transport proteins whose function was at least partially known, approximately 100 deduced protein sequences of unknown function display significant sequence similarity to membrane transport proteins characterized in yeast and/or other organisms. While some protein families have been well characterized by classical genetic experimental approaches, others have largely if not totally escaped characterization. The proteins revealed by this in silicio analysis also include a putative K+ channel, proteins similar to aquaporins of plant and animal origin, proteins similar to Na+-solute symporters, a protein very similar to electroneural cation-chloride cotransporters, and a putative Na+-H+ antiporter. A new research area is anticipated: the functional analysis of many transport proteins whose existence was revealed by genome sequencing.

Abstract
The filamentous fungus Neurospora crassa possesses two nonhomologous high-affinity phosphate permeases, PHO-4 and PHO-5. We have isolated separate null mutants of these permeases, allowing us to study the remaining active transporter in vivo in terms of phosphate uptake and sensitivity to inhibitors. The specificity for the cotransported cation differs for PHO-4 and PHO-5, suggesting that these permeases employ different mechanisms for phosphate translocation. Phosphate uptake by PHO-4 is stimulated 85-fold by the addition of Na+, which supports the idea that PHO-4 is a Na(+)-phosphate symporter. PHO-5 is unaffected by Na+ concentration but is much more sensitive to elevated pH than is PHO-4. Presumably, PHO-5 is a H(+)-phosphate symporter. Na(+)-coupled symport is usually associated with animal cells. The finding of such a system in a filamentous fungus is in harmony with the idea that the fungal and animal kingdoms are more closely related to each other than either is to the plant kingdom.

Abstract
The transport of inorganic phosphate anions into yeast cells (after preincubation with glucose, fructose or another metabolizable sugar, and in the presence of glucose) shows two kinetic components with half-saturation constants of 40 mumol/L and 2.4 mmol/L. The uptake was strikingly stimulated by 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-dGlc) at lower concentrations but inhibited above 100 mmol/L. A similar stimulation was caused by adenine (0.01-1 mmol/L) and a very small one by uracil and inorganic sulfate. It is suggested that either a phosphorylation reaction accompanies the transport (2-dGlc) or that some compounds stimulate the H(+)-ATPase more than inorganic phosphate itself and thus increase its rate of transport.

Abstract
Na+ movements in S. faecalis were studied by 23Na NMR. They proved to be dependent on phosphate concentration in the buffer during the de-energization step. K+ and H+ were also studied respectively by potentiometry and 31P NMR and were shown not to be implicated. For de-energized cells the internal phosphate concentration, on the contrary, was directly linked to the external phosphate contained in the buffer. The experiments showed a Na+/Pi dependence in this prokaryote so far known only in eukaryotes.

Abstract
Polyphosphate synthesis was studied in phosphate-starved cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces marxianus. Incubation of these yeasts for a short time with phosphate and either glucose or ethanol resulted in the formation of polyphosphate with a short chain length. With increasing incubation times, polyphosphates with longer chain lengths were formed. Polyphosphates were synthesized faster during incubation with glucose than with ethanol. Antimycin did not affect the glucose-induced polyphosphate synthesis in either yeast. Using ethanol as an energy source, antimycin A treatment blocked both polyphosphate synthesis and accumulation of orthophosphate in the yeast S. cerevisiae. However, in K. marxianus, polyphosphate synthesis and orthophosphate accumulation proceeded normally in antimycin-treated cells, suggesting that endogenous reserves were used as energy source. This was confirmed in experiments, conducted in the absence of an exogenous energy source.

Abstract
A kinetic study of Pi transport with 32Pi revealed that Saccharomyces cerevisiae has two systems of Pi transport, one with a low Km value (8.2 microM) for external Pi and the other with a high Km value (770 microM). The low-Km system was derepressed by Pi starvation, and the activity was expressed under the control of a genetic system which regulates the repressible acid and alkaline phosphatases. The function of the PHO2 gene, which is essential for the derepression of repressible acid phosphatase but not for the derepression of repressible alkaline phosphatase, was also indispensable for the derepression of the low-Km system.

Abstract
In order to study the characteristics of contraluminal phosphate transport the stopped flow microperfusion technique [13] has been applied. By measuring the time-dependent decrease of interstitial 33Pi concentration at different starting concentrations a simple diffusion kinetics with a permeability coefficient of 7.5 +/- 1.0 X 10(-8) cm2 s-1 was found. Such a kinetic was so far only observed with 2-deoxy-D-glucose. This substance, however, is transported in addition by facilitated diffusion as was seen by paraaminohippurate, methylsuccinate and sulfate. The contraluminal transport of phosphate was inhibited by H2-DIDS (5 mmol/l). It was, however, not influenced by omission of Na+ from the perfusates, by addition of sulfate (150 mmol/l), methylsuccinate (50 mmol/l), arsenate (50 mmol/l), the Hg-compound mersalyl (5 mmol/l), high and low phosphate diet and pH changes between 6.0 and 8.0. The data indicate that phosphate, which is reabsorbed from the lumen by a Na+-dependent transport system, leaves the cell by a rather unspecific contraluminal diffusion pathway.

Abstract
Phosphate starvation derepresses a high-affinity phosphate uptake system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain A294, while in the same time the low-affinity phosphate uptake system disappears. The protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide prevents the derepression, but has no effect as soon as the high-affinity system is fully derepressed. Two other protein synthesis inhibitors, lomofungin and 8-hydroxyquinoline, were found to interfere also with the low-affinity system and with Rb+ uptake. After incubation of the yeast cells in the presence of phosphate the high-affinity system is not derepressed, but the Vmax of the low-affinity system has decreased from about 35%. Phosphate supplement after derepression causes the high-affinity system to disappear to a certain extent while in the meantime the low-affinity system reappears. The results are compared with those found in the yeast Candida tropicalis for phosphate uptake.

Abstract
Vanadate, a potent inhibitor of plasma membrane ATPases, is taken up by Neurospora crassa only when cells are growing in alkaline medium and starving for phosphate. The appearance of a vanadate uptake system (Km = 8.2 microM; Vmax = 0.15 mmol/min per liter of cell water) occurs under the same conditions required for derepression of a high-affinity phosphate transport system. Phosphate is a competitive inhibitor of vanadate uptake, and vanadate is a competitive inhibitor of phosphate uptake. Furthermore, mutant strains which are either partially constitutive or non-derepressible for the high-affinity phosphate transport system are also partially constitutive or non-derepressible for vanadate uptake. These data indicate that vanadate enters the cell via phosphate transport system II.

Abstract
Protoplasts were prepared with snail-gut juice from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida utilis. Transport of D-xylose (A), trehalose (B), 2-deoxy-D-glucose (C), L-leucine (D), L-proline (E), inorganic phosphate (F) and H+ ions (G) was studied with special emphasis on the first species. Transport of A which is not sensitive to glucose stimulation in its synthesis was not affected by protoplast formation. Similarly unaffected were transports of B, D, E and F in their "residual" form in starved cells. However, transport of these substances after glucose-stimulated synthesis was practically fully suppressed by protoplast formation. This may be connected with the virtually complete inhibition of the proton pump (G) in protoplasts with the implication that B, D, E and F are transported in conjunction with protons but only those that are immediately produced by the proton pump (glucose consumption, oxygen utilization and membrane potential were not substantially altered in protoplasts). Transport of C was stimulated nearly two-fold in protoplasts. Uranyl ions (0.1 mM) had a pronouncedly lower inhibitory effect on all the transports studied in protoplasts.

Abstract
The rate and extent of entry of dTMP were measured in strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying two new tup mutations (tup5 and tup7) and most of the other tup mutations which have been reported previously by others. The tup7 mutation allowed dramatically greater accumulation of dTMP than any of the other mutations tested. Specific labeling of DNA by [CH3-3H]dTMP, fate of the dTMP pool inside of the cells, and degradation of the dTMP in the culture medium were investigated in strains carrying the tup7 mutation. The extracellular dTMP was not appreciably degraded, and that accumulated intracellularly was readily phosphorylated to dTDP and dTTP. Under optimum labeling conditions, 60 to 80% of the total thymidylate residues in newly synthesized DNA were derived from the exogenously provided dTMP, even in the absence of a block in de novo dTMP biosynthesis. An apparent Km for entry of 2 mM dTMP was found. The tup7 mutation increased permeability to dTMP (and some other 5'-mononucleotides), but did not affect uptake of nucleosides and purine and pyrimidine bases. Uptake of dTMP could be almost completely inhibited by moderate concentrations of Pi. These findings and other observations suggest that entry of dTMP in strains carrying the tup7 mutation is mediated by a permease whose function in normal cells is the transport of Pi.

Abstract
Preincubation of baker's yeast (wild strain, respiration-deficient mutant and a low-phosphorus culture) with glucose, trehalose, and other metabolic sugars increases the subsequent uptake of inorganic phosphate 3-5 times. The Kt is reduced by the preincubation from 3.5 to 1.6 mM. The process involves primarily the production of glycolytic energy sources (suppression by iodoacetamide, no effect of antimycin or dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, negligible effect of ethanol, or respiratory mutation). The low-phosphorus yeast takes up phosphate anions about 1-20 times faster than the high-phosphorus (normal) culture. The stimulation is also accompanied by some (apparently nonessential) protein synthesis and has a halftime of 35 min; its decay has a t0.5 of 12 min but affects only less than one-half of the stimulated capacity.

Abstract
Uptake of nitrate and urea by Phaeodactylum tricornutum is shown to be a sodium dependent process inhibited by lithium or potassium. The half-saturation constant for sodium (KNa) was 2.6 mM for nitrate uptake and 71 mM for urea uptake. It is suggested that sodium dependent uptake mechanisms may be characteristic of marine plants.

Abstract
Uptake of sulfate by yeast requires the presence of a metabolic substrate and is dependent on the time during which the cells have been metabolizing in the absence of sulfate. At low concentrations of sulfate, uptake can be described by simple saturation kinetics. Uptake of sulfate is accompanied by a net proton influx of 3 H+ and an efflux of 1 K+ for each sulfate ion taken up. Divalent cations stimulate sulfate uptake at low concentrations of sulfate; the maximal rate of uptake is not significantly affected but Km is lowered. Stimulation by divalent cations shows an optimum at a cation concentration of about 4 mM. Monovalent cations are less effective, trivalent cations are more effective in stimulating sulfate uptake. The results are qualitatively in accordance with the notion, that the effect of cations is due to an effect via the surface potential.

Abstract
The uptake of Ca2+ and Sr2+ by the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is energy dependent, and shows a deviation from simple Michaelis-Menten kinetics. A model is discussed that takes into account the effect of the surface potential and the membrane potential on uptake kinetics. The rate of Ca2+ and Sr2+ uptake is influenced by the cell pH and by the medium pH. The inhibition of uptake at low concentration of Ca2+ and Sr2+ at low pH may be explained by a decrease of the surface potential. The inhibition of Ca2+ and Sr2+ uptake by monovalent cations is independent of the divalent cation concentration. The inhibition shows saturation kinetics, and the concentration of monovalent cation at which half-maximal inhibition is observed, is equal to the affinity constant of this ion for the monovalent cation transport system. The inhibition of divalent cation uptake by monovalent cations appears to be related to depolarization of the cell membrane. Phosphate exerts a dual effect on uptake of divalent cations: and initial inhibition and a secondary stimulation. The inhibition shows saturation kinetics, and the inhibition constant is equal to the affinity constant of phosphate for its transport mechanism. The secondary stimulation can only partly be explained by a decrease of the cell pH, suggesting interaction of intracellular phosphate, or a phosphorylated compound, with the translocation mechanism.
