Abstrakt: A gene encoding a transport protein from the pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans, has been isolated during a complementation experiment utilizing an ornithine decarboxylase-negative (spe1Δ) strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This gene restores γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) transport to a GABA transport-negative mutant of S. cerevisiae and encodes a protein which putatively allows transport of one or more of the polyamines. We have assigned the name GPT1 (GABA/polyamine transporter) to this gene. The GenBank Accession No. for this gene is AF080132. Copyright © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
