Regulation of polyphosphate homeostasis in S. cerevisiae by the Sky1 protein kinase
Eukaryotic cells store inorganic phosphate in the form of long chains called polyphosphates (polyP) that can reach many hundreds of residues in length. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, polyP is synthesized by the VTC complex using ATP as a substrate and sequestered at high concentrations in the vacuole. H...
