Disruption of genes encoding endogenous transport proteins in Saccharomyces cerevisiae has facilitated the recent cloning, by functional expression, of cDNAs encoding K+ channels and amino acid transporters front the plant Arabidopsis thaliana [1-4]. In the present study, we demonstrate in whole-cell patch clamp experiments that the inability of trk1 Delta trk2 Delta mutants of S. cervisiae to grow on submillimolar K+ correlates with the lack of K+ inward currents, which are present in wild-type cells, and that transformation of the trk1 Delta trk2 Delta double-deletion mutant with KAT1 from Arabidopsis thaliana restores this phenotype hy encoding a plasma membrane protein that allows large K+ inward currents. Similar K+ inward currents are induced by transformation of a trk1 mutant with AKT1 from A. thaliana.
