The normal transport of inorganic ions across the surface                  membrane of any cell is essential for its physiological function.               This research is directed toward understanding how eukaryotic                   cell membranes tranport ions, and in particular, how yeast cells                tranport potassium.  Two potassium transport systems have been                  identified thus far, one having a high affinitiy and one a low                  affinity.  The gene for the high affinity transporter has been                  cloned, and a quantitative assay for transport through this                     system has been developed.  Deletion of the gene for the high                   affinity transporter permits the study of the low affinity                      transporter and of potassium extrusion pathways.  The next goals                of this research are to study the surface membrane potassium                    transporter proteins in more detail and to identify and                         characterize the systems mediating potassium transport in                       intracellular organelles (mitochondria and vacuoles).                                This research will provide important new information on the                molecular mechanisms of ion transport in eukaryotic cells, and is               the basis of this Presidential Young Investigator Award to Dr.                  Richard F. Gaber.
