Abstract excerpt
Yeast cells lacking UDP-Glc pyrophosphorylase (UGPase) encoded by UGPI are not viable. Two strategies were developed to drastically reduce the intracellular concentration of UDP-Glc in order to study the consequences of this metabolic engineering on physiology and morphology. Firstly, UGP1 was placed under the strongly regulatable THI4 promoter. This resulted in a 95% reduction of UGPase activity in the presence...
