2.A.43.2.3 Vacuolar (lysosomal) cationic amino acid transporter (YOL092W) (308aas; 7 TMSs), LAAT1. Involved in cationic amino acid homeostasis (Jézégou et al. 2012). It may function as an amino acid exporter of cationic amino acids from the vacuole. The vacuole-associated Rsp5 ubiquitin ligase uses a TMS in the substrate adaptor Ssh4 to recognize membrane helices in Ypq1, which targets this lysine transporter for lysosomal degradation during lysine starvation (Zhang and Ye 2021).
