We have isolated and characterized a pleiotropic recessive mutation,fen2-l, that causes resistance to fenpropimorph and a low level of ergosterol in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ergosterol synthesis in the mutant strain was 5.5-fold slower than in the wild type; however, in vitro assays of the enzymes
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
The Bacillus subtilis xyl operon encoding enzymes for xylose utilization is repressed in the absence of xylose and in the presence of glucose. Transcriptional fusions of spoVG-lacZ to this operon show regulation of beta-galactosidase expression by glucose, indicating that glucose repression operates
