Abstract excerpt
In addition to being the universal carbon and energy source, glucose also regulates gene expression in many organisms. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae glucose regulates gene expression via two different pathways known as the glucose repression and glucose induction pathways. The signal for glucose induction of hexose transporter (HXT) genes is generated via two glucose-transporter like molecules, Snf3 and...
