Role of hexose transport in control of glycolytic flux in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Article Abstract:
The complete series of strains producing functional chimeras between the hexose transporters Hxt1 and Hxt7, each of which has distinct glucose transport characteristics are presented. It is shown that in wild-type cells growing at high glucose levels the uptake step has no control over the glycolytic rate, while the chimeric high-affinity Hxt transporters with decreased glucose uptake rates control the rate of glycolysis to a high degree.

Effect of nutrient starvation on the cellular composition and metabolic capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Article Abstract:
The effect of nutrient starvation on the cellular composition and metabolic capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was investigated. Results showed that the glucose transport capacity was the most important factor for maintenance of high metabolic capacity and for the cells starved of carbon and nitrogen in the presence of glucose indicated that metabolic capacity was controlled by glucose transport ability.
