Abstract excerpt
The key glycolytic HXK2 gene, coding for the enzyme hexokinase 2 (Hxk2p), is expressed when cells of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae are grown on a fermentable medium using glucose, fructose or mannose as a carbon source. After shifting the cells to a non-fermentable carbon source, the HXK2 gene is repressed and the HXK1 and GLK1 genes are rapidly de-repressed, producing the enzymes hexokinase 1 (Hxk1p) and...
