Rds Rds2 2 regulator regulator

  • Regulator of drug sensitivity
  • Direct

binding to a key gluconeogenic pathway called PCK1 in glucose

  • When the carbon source was shifted from

glucose to alternative carbon sources the glucose to alternative carbon sources, the binding of Rds2 on many promoters are dramatically altered.

Hexose Transporter Hexose Transporter genes genes

  • The hexose transporters are large integral

membrane proteins.

  • S

ac c haro myc e s c e re visiae has 20 genes that encode proteins similar to glucose (hexose) transporters (HXT 1 to HXT 17, GAL 2, S NF 3, and RGT 2)

  • The multiple pathways regulate the transcription of

several members of the HXT gene family in response to different levels of extracellular glucose

Discussion Discussion

  • Rds2 is not required for expression of HXT9 and HXT11 in

glucose

  • Rds2 regulator acts as positive regulator of both HXT9

and HXT11 genes in ethanol.

  • This agrees well with increased binding of Rds2 regulator

at these HXT promoters in ethanol (Soontorngun et. at, 2007)

  • The expression of HXT9 and HXT11 genes are required to

transport glucose into cells
