Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional status of the genes needed for galactose utilization in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is controlled by the interplay between the prototypical transcriptional activator Gal4p and the inhibitor protein Gal80p. Relief of the inhibition from Gal4p requires the interaction between Gal80p and the galactokinase paralog, Gal3p. Here, we present evidence that decrease in the intracellular levels of ATP or...
