CcpA-dependent carbon catabolite repression in bacteria.
Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) by transcriptional regulators follows different mechanisms in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In gram-positive bacteria, CcpA-dependent CCR is mediated by phosphorylation of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system intermediate HPr at a serine residue at the expense of ATP. The reaction is catalyzed by HPr kinase, which is activated by...
متن کاملYeast carbon catabolite repression.
Glucose and related sugars repress the transcription of genes encoding enzymes required for the utilization of alternative carbon sources; some of these genes are also repressed by other sugars such as galactose, and the process is known as catabolite repression. The different sugars produce signals which modify the conformation of certain proteins that, in turn, directly or through a regulator...
متن کاملCarbon catabolite repression in yeast.
Control of gene expression is a basic regulatory mechanism of living organisms. In microorganisms, glucose or other rapidly metabolizable carbon sources repress the expression of genes that code for enzymes related to the metabolism of other carbon sources. This phenomenon, known as catabolite repression, allows microorganisms to cope effectively with changes in the carbon sources present in th...
متن کاملCarbon catabolite repression in Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The thermophilic anaerobe Thermoanaerobacterium saccharolyticum is capable of directly fermenting xylan and the biomass-derived sugars glucose, cellobiose, xylose, mannose, galactose and arabinose. It has been metabolically engineered and developed as a biocatalyst for the production of ethanol. RESULTS We report the initial characterization of the carbon catabolite r...
متن کاملCarbon Catabolite Repression in Filamentous Fungi
Carbon Catabolite Repression (CCR) has fascinated scientists and researchers around the globe for the past few decades. This important mechanism allows preferential utilization of an energy-efficient and readily available carbon source over relatively less easily accessible carbon sources. This mechanism helps microorganisms to obtain maximum amount of glucose in order to keep pace with their m...
