Induction of glyoxylate cycle expression in Caenorhabditis elegans: a fasting response throughout larval development.

Abstract excerpt

The mRNA and the bifunctional protein for the two glyoxylate cycle (GC) enzymes, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase, are expressed in a tissue- and stage-specific pattern in Caenorhabditis elegans. Since expression of the two enzymes for the carbon-conserving glyoxylate cycle is regulated by the availability of carbon sources in microorganisms, we have studied the bifunctional GCP gene expression under fasting...
