A single amino acid change converts the sugar sensor SGLT3 into a sugar transporter. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Sodium-glucose cotransporter proteins (SGLT) belong to the SLC5A family, characterized by the cotransport of Na(+) with solute. SGLT1 is responsible for intestinal glucose absorption.

Explicit consideration of topological and parameter uncertainty gives new insights into a well-established model of glycolysis [PDF]

, 2013
Previous models of glycolysis in the sleeping sickness parasite Trypanosoma brucei assumed that the core part of glycolysis in this unicellular parasite is tightly compartimentalized within an organelle, the glycosome, which had previously been shown to ...

Reconstructing the transport cycle in the sugar porter superfamily using coevolution-powered machine learning

eLife, 2023
Sugar porters (SPs) represent the largest group of secondary-active transporters. Some members, such as the glucose transporters (GLUTs), are well known for their role in maintaining blood glucose homeostasis in mammals, with their expression upregulated

Comparative genome-centric analysis reveals seasonal variation in the function of coral reef microbiomes [PDF]

, 2020
Microbially mediated processes contribute to coral reef resilience yet, despite extensive characterisation of microbial community variation following environmental perturbation, the effect on microbiome function is poorly understood.

Metabolic perturbations in mutants of glucose transporters and their applications in metabolite production in Escherichia coli

Microbial Cell Factories, 2019
Background Most microorganisms have evolved to maximize growth rate, with rapid consumption of carbon sources from the surroundings. However, fast growing phenotypes usually feature secretion of organic compounds. For example, E.

Roles of Predicted Glycosyltransferases in the Biosynthesis of the Rhizobium etli CE3 O Antigen [PDF]

, 2013
The Rhizobium etli CE3 O antigen is a fixed-length heteropolymer. The genetic regions required for its synthesis have been identified, and the nucleotide sequences are known.

Evolution of the Apicomplexan Sugar Transporter Gene Family Repertoire

International Journal of Genomics, 2017
Apicomplexan protist parasites utilize host sugars transported into the parasite by sugar transporter proteins for use as an energy source. We performed a phylum-wide phylogenetic analysis of the apicomplexan sugar transporter repertoire.

Molecular cloning and functional analysis of a sugar transporter gene (CsTST2) from cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.)

Biotechnology & Biotechnological Equipment, 2019
Tonoplast sugar transporters (TSTs) usually act as antiporters to import sugars across the tonoplast and play essential roles in regulating diverse growth and developmental processes as well as in response to various abiotic stresses in plants.

Transforming growth factor β signaling upregulates the expression of human GDP-fucose transporter by activating transcription factor Sp1. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
GDP-fucose transporter plays a crucial role in fucosylation of glycoproteins by providing activated fucose donor, GDP-fucose, for fucosyltransferases in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus. Fucose-containing glycans are involved in many biological processes,
