Abstract excerpt
Mlc is a global transcriptional repressor involved in the regulation of genes linked to glucose metabolism. The activity of Mlc is modulated through the interaction with a major glucose transporter, IICBGlc, in response to external glucose. To understand how IICBGlc-Mlc interaction controls the repressor activity of Mlc, we attempted to isolate Mlc mutants that retain the ability to repress target genes even in...
