Moreover, the FUI1 gene product does not play any role in allantoin transport. Paper-1338166.
Even though the FUI1 gene has a multicopy suppressor effect on uracil transport, its product does not seem to be involved in this transport, in contrast to the FUR4 gene product which is involved in uridine transport. Paper-1338166.
As residual 5-FC sensitivity was, however, even detectable in the fcy2 fcy21 fcy22 mutant, we analysed the relevance of other FCY2 homologues, i.e. TPN1, FUR4, DAL4, FUI1 and yOR071c, for 5-FC toxicity. Paper-12151848.
Nucleoside transporter proteins of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Demonstration of a transporter ( FUI1) with high uridine selectivity in plasma membranes and a transporter ( FUN26) with broad nucleoside selectivity in intracellular membranes. Paper-8434060.
These results indicated that FUI1 has high selectivity for uracil-containing ribonucleosides and imports uridine across cell-surface membranes, whereas FUN26 has broad nucleoside selectivity and most likely functions to transport nucleosides across intracellular membranes. Paper-8434060.
[(3)H]Uridine influx was eliminated by disruption of the gene encoding FUI1 ( fui1) and restored by expression of FUI1 cDNA, whereas influx in transport-competent and fui1-negative yeast were unaffected, respectively, by disruption of the FUN26 gene or overexpression of FUN26 cDNA. Paper-8434060.
The deduced protein sequence shares strong similarities with five open reading frames from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, namely the uracil permease encoded by the FUR4 gene, the allantoin permease encoded by DAL4, a putative uridine permease ( YBL042C) and two unknown ORFs YOR071c and YLR237w. Paper-1609882.
These synonyms are used for gene FUI1 (Fui1p): YBL042C, YBL0406, Uridine permease.
These accession numbers are used for gene FUI1: CAA84862 (NCBI_GENBANK__AC), CAA55059 (NCBI_GENBANK__AC).
FUI1 is a homologue of KLLA0E05434g (hypothetical protein) from Kluyveromyces lactis NRRL Y-1140.
FUI1 is a homologue of AGOS_AFR598C (AFR598Cp) from Ashbya gossypii ATCC 10895.
