High impact information on PKR1

  • PKR1 Encodes an Assembly Factor for the Yeast V-Type ATPase [1].
  • Levels of Vph1p in cells lacking Pkr1p are similar to cells unable to assemble a functional V-ATPase due to lack of a V(0) subunit or an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) assembly factor [1].
  • Pkr1p is localized to the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum [1].
  • The V-ATPase assembled in the absence of Pkr1p is fully functional because the mutant cells are able to weakly acidify their vacuoles [1].
