I suspect it has something to do with the H+ ions interfering with proton ATPase and secondary active transport, but I'm not sure.
Yeast are not damaged by washing down to pH 2. Beyond that is not so good for them. Exactly which enzymes it is that are denatured I do not know but it is doubtless denaturing of enzymes that does the harm.
