2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG), a non-metabolize analogue of glucose, is taken up by yeast using the same transporter(s) as glucose and is phosphorylated by hexokinases producing 2-deoxyglucose-6-P. We found that in DOGR yeasts, 2-DOG was not able to trigger glucose repression, even at concentrations of 0.5

Akabayashi et al. made a valuable modification of the enzymatic methods from our laboratory for measuring 2-deoxyglucose and 2-deoxyglucose 6-phosphate. Their modified procedure eliminates glucose and glucose 6-phosphate by conversion to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate, thereby saving two analytical steps
When strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying a single glucose-phosphorylating enzyme such as hexokinase Pl or hexokinase P2 or glucokinase, are subjected to the selection pressure against the toxic sugar 2-deoxyglucose, the majority of survivors are mutants lacking the respective enzymes. All t
