  2. 1. Engineering cytosolic acetyl-CoA metabolism in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

    Author : Yiming Zhang; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; reverse engineering; flavodoxin; genomic DNA sequencing; ferredoxin; histone deacetylase; adaptive evolution; ferredoxin flavodoxin NADP reductase; pyruvate decarboxylase; citrate synthase; hexose transporter; yeast; mitochondria; aerobic growth; metabolic engineering.; acetyl-CoA; central carbon metabolism;

    Abstract : A Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain carrying deletions in all three pyruvate decarboxylase genes (also called Pdc negative yeast) represents a non-ethanol producing platform strain for biochemical production. However, it cannot grow on glucose as the sole carbon source due to the lack of cytosolic acetyl-CoA for lipid biosynthesis. READ MORE

  4. 2. The molecular basis for substrate recognition and gating in sugar transporters

    Author : Sarah McComas; David Drew; Philip Biggin; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; membrane transport; sugar transporter; simulations; lipids; antimalarial drugs; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Sugar is a vital sustenance for most forms of life. For a cell to take up sugar, specialized transport proteins embedded into the membrane bilayer known as sugar porters, are required. READ MORE

  5. 3. Dynamic control of the yeast AMPK/SNF1 pathway in response to glucose signals

    Author : Loubna Bendrioua; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; AMPK; SNF1; Mig1; glucose signalling; dynamic control; mechanism; Saccharomyces cerevisiae;

    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
