1. Dynamic control of the yeast AMPK/SNF1 pathway in response to glucose signals
Abstract : The SNF1/AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) belongs to a family of energy sensors that is conserved in all eukaryotes. Activated by ATP depletion, AMPK plays a vital role in restoring the energy balance by enhancing energy-generating and damping energy-requiring processes. READ MORE

2. Global Regulation of Snf1 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae: A case study of experimental systems biology
Abstract : Cells commonly face environmental changes and have evolved various regulatory mechanisms to adjust their metabolism accordingly. One such key regulator in S. cerevisiae is the Snf1 kinase, which belongs to the conserved AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) family in all eukaryotes. READ MORE

3. Function and regulation of the Yeast Mig1 repressor
Abstract : Glucose repression is a global regulatory response in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Thus, in the presence of glucose, the preferred carbon source, expression of many genes encoding proteins required for metabolism of other carbon sources are turned off.An important mediator of glucose repression is the Mig1 repressor.

4. Systems Biology of Yeast Lipid Metabolism
Abstract : Lipid metabolism plays an important role in the development of many different life-style related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis, and understanding the molecular mechanisms behind regulation of lipid biosynthesis and degradation may lead to development of new therapies. In this project we undertook a global study of lipid metabolism in the eukaryotic model organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. READ MORE

5. The Role of Hexose Transport on Glycolytic Flux and Glucose Induced Responses in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Abstract : In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, glucose is primarily fermented rather than respired. Only in cultivation modes such as chemostats or fed-batches, where the external glucose is kept low, a fully respiratory catabolism is observed. READ MORE
