FTY720 affects the activity of various permeases. (A) Strains 27038a (rsp5(npi1) ura3), CJ005 (gap1Δ rsp5(npi1) ura3), and 35288a (gap1Δ can1Δ rsp5(npi1) ura3) were transformed with plasmid pFL38 (URA3). Cells were treated or not with FTY720 (10 μM) or rapamycin (200 ng/ml) for 1 h. The initial uptake rate for 75 μM [14C]-labeled citrulline (reflecting Gap1 activity), 10 μM [14C]-labeled arginine (reflecting Can1 activity), 10 μM [14C]-labeled lysine (reflecting Lyp1 activity), or 5 μM [14C]-labeled uracil (reflecting Fur4 activity) was then measured. Error bars correspond to SD, n = 3–5 (unpaired t-test, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001). (B) Strain EK008 (gap1Δ ura3) transformed with plasmid pCJ038 (YCpGAL-GAP1K9R,K16R-GFP) was grown on galactose-proline medium. Glucose was added for 90 min to inhibit Gap1 synthesis. Cells were treated for 0, 10, 30, 60, or 120 min with FTY720 (10 μM final concentration) or DMSO alone (control). The initial uptake rate of [14C]-labeled citrulline (75 μM), reflecting Gap1 activity, was then measured. Error bars correspond to SD, n = 2. (C) Strain EK008 (gap1Δ ura3) transformed with pCJ038 (YCpGAL-GAP1K9R,K16R-GFP) was grown on galactose-proline medium. Glucose was added for 90 min to repress Gap1 synthesis. Cells were treated for 60 min with FTY720 or the solvent DMSO alone (control) and the uptake of [14C]-citrulline added at various concentrations was then measured. Error bars correspond to SD, n = 2.
