The overall purposes of this study are to provide a detailed functional description of active and passive potassium transport in model plant/fungal cells, to identify and isolate the protein molecules which mediate K+ transport, and ultimately to determine the intramolecular mechanisms which determine ion passage. The two major research lines now being followed are cloning three varieties of K+ transporters in Neurospora crassa, and characterizing potassium channels and proton pumps in Neurospora and Saccharomyces cerevisiae electrophysiologically, largely by means of patch recording.
