Studies of the Di/tripeptide Transporter in <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>: The N-terminal Cytoplasmic Domain of Ptr2p is Involved in Post-Translational Regulation

Throughout nature cells use peptides as a source of nutrition. For microbes, an ability to utilize peptides is especially important in nitrogen-poor environments, as peptides can be catabolized for their use as a nitrogen source. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae imports di/tripeptides from the env...
