abstract：:The branched-chain amino acid permease Bap2p is a transport system for leucine, isoleucine, and valine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and its synthesis is regulated transcriptionally. However, the downregulation mechanisms of Bap2p have not been established. Here we demonstrate that the C-terminal region of Bap2p plays ...
