a Predicted solvent accessibility scores for residues in the N-terminal domain of Vph1p were calculated using the I-TASSER program. Scores ranged from 0 (least accessible) to 7 (most accessible).
b The growth phenotype of each mutant was tested by comparing growth on YEPD plates buffered to pH 7.5 and 5.5. Yeast lacking a functional V-ATPase grow at pH 5.5 but not at pH 7.5. MM112, the background yeast strain, lacks both Vph1p and Stv1p and fails to grow at pH 7.5.
c Plus sign indicates wild-type growth; minus sign indicates no growth.
