Abstract excerpt
Hexokinases catalyse the first step in glucose metabolism and play a role in glucose sensing in mammals, plants and fungi. We describe a new class of hexokinases that appear to be solely regulatory in function. The Aspergillus nidulans hxkD gene (formerly named xprF) encodes a hexokinase-like protein. We constructed hxkDDelta gene disruption mutants which showed increased levels of extracellular protease in...
