Glucose represses connexin36 in insulin-secreting cells [PDF]
The gap-junction protein connexin36 (Cx36) contributes to control the functions of insulin-producing cells. In this study, we investigated whether the expression of Cx36 is regulated by glucose in insulin-producing cells. Glucose caused a significant reduction of Cx36 in insulin-secreting cell lines and freshly isolated pancreatic rat islets.

Hepatic p63 regulates glucose metabolism by repressing SIRT1
Objectivep63 is a transcription factor within the p53 protein family that has key roles in development, differentiation and prevention of senescence, but its metabolic actions remain largely unknown. Herein, we investigated the physiological role of p63 in glucose metabolism.DesignWe used cell lines and mouse models to genetically manipulate p63 in ...

Role of Elm1, Tos3, and Sak1 Protein Kinases in the Maltose Metabolism of Baker’s Yeast
Glucose repression is a key regulatory system controlling the metabolism of non-glucose carbon source in yeast. Glucose represses the utilization of maltose, the most abundant fermentable sugar in lean dough and wort, thereby negatively affecting the ...

Genotypic Variation in Ethanolic Fermentation Using New Genetically Recombinants of Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
This study aimed to investigate metabolic changed related to glucose – repression by the analysis of ethanol productivity which is mainly affected by the glucose effect. Five parental isolates and 15 genotypes derived from three crosses were used in this

Glucose Repression in Saccharomyces cerevisiae Is Related to the Glucose Concentration Rather Than the Glucose Flux [PDF]
Glucose plays an important regulatory role in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which is mostly reflected at the transcriptional level by glucose repression. The signal that initiates glucose repression is unknown, but data indicate that it is located at or above the level of glucose 6-phosphate, suggesting the involvement of either the intracellular

Glucose repression in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae [PDF]
SummaryUnderstanding the mechanism of glucose repression in yeast has proved to be a difficult and challenging problem. A multitude of genes in different pathways are repressed by glucose at the level of transcription. The SUC2 gene, which encodes invertase, is an excellent reporter gene for glucose repression, since its expression is controlled ...
