Disorders of galactose metabolism.
Galactose metabolism occupies a central position in modern biology through its relationship to cell surface antigenicity and its metabolic function as a component of glycolipids and glycoproteins. Disturbances in three fundamental reaction sequences of this hexose have led to a delineation of pathways of the chemistry resulting in the understanding of its metabolic fate. These inherited disorde...
متن کاملGlucose and galactose metabolism in Streptococcus pyogenes.
Studies initially concerned with the role of nutrient carbohydrates in the formation of capsular hyaluronic acid by various strains of Streptococcus pyogenes led to the finding that the end products of glucose and galactose dissimilation in these organisms differ quantitatively (Steele et al., 1954). This paper is a report of further investigations on the latter aspect of the carbohydrate metab...
متن کاملGalactose metabolism in regenerating rat liver.
1. Rats trained on a controlled lighting and feeding schedule were subjected to partial hepatectomy or sham operation. 2. After a large period of about 6h the activity of UDP-galactose 4-epimerase increased threefold, reaching a maximum 4 days after partial hepatectomy, and returned to normal values within a fortnight. 3. The enzyme pattern of the UDP-galactose-glycoprotein galactosyltransferas...
متن کاملTranscriptional Rewiring of Fungal Galactose-Metabolism Circuitry
BACKGROUND The Leloir-pathway genes encode the enzymatic machinery involved in the metabolism of galactose. RESULTS In the distantly related fungi Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Candida albicans, the genes encoding these enzymes are syntenically arranged, but the upstream regulatory regions are highly divergent. In S. cerevisiae, the Leloir-pathway genes are positively regulated by Gal4p acting...
متن کاملMetabolism of Galactose I. Cutaneous Blood Sugars after Galactose Ingestion by Victor
Our knowledge of the fate of galactose after its oral ingestion has been limited by the analytical methods at our disposal. As a reducing sugar, the galactose could be traced by earlier workers only by methods common to those for glucose. The use of bakers’ yeast enabled these two sugars to be separated. By this means, Blanc0 (l), Corley (Z), and Harding and van Nostrand (3) reduced the number ...
