Figure 5. Effect of Ceramide on Pma1 Activity and on Cell Growth.
(A) Pma1 proton pump activity of WT, Δcer1, Δgcs1, Δgcs1+AbA, Δgcs1+AbA+C6 phytoceramide, and Δgcs1+AbA+C18 ceramide measured by glucose-dependent medium acidification. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
(B) In vitro growth of WT, GAL7::IPC1, GAL7:: IPC1+C6 phytoceramide, GAL7::IPC1+ C18 ceramide, and Δcer1 at 37°C, 5% CO2, pH 4.0. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.
