Abstract excerpt
In Yarrowia lipolytica, expression of the genes encoding the enzymes of the N-acetylglucosamine (NAGA) utilization pathway (NAG genes) becomes independent of the presence of NAGA in a Ylnag5 mutant lacking NAGA kinase. We addressed the question of whether the altered transcription was due to a lack of kinase activity or to a moonlighting role of this protein. Glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase (Nag1) activity was...
