Effect of xylose incubation on the glucose transport system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. 1986

J Schuddemat, and P J Van den Broek, and J Van Steveninck

Incubation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with xylose and ethanol for 16 hours leads to a decrease of hexokinase (and glucokinase) activity in the cells. It does not alter the levels of polyphosphate, orthophosphate and ATP. The transport of the glucose derivative 2-deoxy-D-glucose, a sugar that can be phosphorylated, is inhibited after this treatment, whereas transport of 6-deoxy-D-glucose, which has a blocked phosphorylation site, is not inhibited. Even though, both deoxyglucoses use the same transport system. The decrease in initial velocity of 2-deoxy-D-glucose transport is most pronounced under anaerobic conditions. Incubation of the cells with antimycin A, a treatment which has a similar effect as anaerobiosis, shows, that the inhibition of the transport of 2-deoxy-D-glucose is presumably the result of an increase in the Km of the carrier transport. Transport of glucose is probably regulated by kinase enzymes.

D005941 Glucokinase A group of enzymes that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and D-glucose to ADP and D-glucose 6-phosphate. They are found in invertebrates and microorganisms, and are highly specific for glucose. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.1.2.
D005947 Glucose A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement. Dextrose,Anhydrous Dextrose,D-Glucose,Glucose Monohydrate,Glucose, (DL)-Isomer,Glucose, (alpha-D)-Isomer,Glucose, (beta-D)-Isomer,D Glucose,Dextrose, Anhydrous,Monohydrate, Glucose
D006593 Hexokinase An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of ATP and a D-hexose to ADP and a D-hexose 6-phosphate. D-Glucose, D-mannose, D-fructose, sorbitol, and D-glucosamine can act as acceptors; ITP and dATP can act as donors. The liver isoenzyme has sometimes been called glucokinase. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 2.7.1.1. Hexokinase A,Hexokinase D,Hexokinase II
D001692 Biological Transport The movement of materials (including biochemical substances and drugs) through a biological system at the cellular level. The transport can be across cell membranes and epithelial layers. It also can occur within intracellular compartments and extracellular compartments.
