Complementation of a yeast TRK1/TRK2 mutant with
McHAK1, McHAK2, and McHAK4. The yeast
strain CY162 (Ko and Gaber, 1991) was transformed with either the empty
vector pYES2 or with McHAK1, McHAK2, and
McHAK4, respectively, cloned into the yeast expression
vector pYES2. Positive transformants were grown on Gal-SC containing 3
mm K+ (A) or 7
mm K+ (B), or Gal-SC
supplemented with 150 mm RbCl, 150
mm NaCl, or 15 mm
CsCl.
