High impact information on YVC1

  • Here we report that Yvc1p, a vacuolar membrane protein with homology to transient receptor potential (TRP) channels, mediates the hyperosmolarity induced Ca(2+) release [1].
  • It appears that, on upshock, a transient osmotic force activates Yvc1p to release Ca2+ from the vacuole [2].
  • By using a combination of gene deletion and re-expression with direct patch clamping of the yeast vacuolar membrane, we show that this yeast TRP-like gene is necessary for the YVC1 conductance [3].
