The effect of ligand binding on the galactokinase activity of yeast Gal1p and its ability to activate transcription.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 2 Jan 2009

Sellick Christopher A, Jowitt Thomas A, Reece Richard J

Abstract excerpt

The galactokinase from Saccharomyces cerevisiae (ScGal1p) is a bifunctional protein. It is an enzyme responsible for the conversion of alpha-D-galactose into galactose 1-phosphate at the expense of ATP but can also function as a transcriptional inducer of the yeast GAL genes. For both of these ac...
