Glucose-6-Phosphate Isomerase FgGPI, a β₂ Tubulin-Interacting Protein, Is Indispensable for Fungal Development and Deoxynivalenol Biosynthesis in <i>Fusarium graminearum</i>

Glucose-6-phosphate isomerase is necessary for embryo implantation in the domestic ferret.

The mechanism of implantation in carnivores is poorly understood. However, a previously unidentified 60-kDa protein has been shown to be necessary for embryo implantation in ferrets. Here we identify this protein as glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (GPI). GPI is expressed by the corpus luteum on days 6-9 of pregnancy, the time at which implantation-promoting activity has been found in corpora lute...

Catalytic reactions of phosphoglucose isomerase with cyclic forms of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate.

Yeast phosphoglucose isomerase is shown to use and produce both the u and the fi anomeric forms of fructofuranose 6-phosphate. Rapid quench techniques show a Z&fold preference in the utilization of the a! anomer over the /3 anomeric form. The previous report that the (Y anomer of glucopyranose-6-P is the preferred substrate form is confirmed. However the /3 anomer is also shown to react at a sl...

Characterization of Human Glucose - 6 - Phosphate Isomerase of Different Sizes

The accumulation of glucose 6-phosphate from glucose and its effect in an Escherichia coli mutant lacking phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase.

When presented with glucose, an Escherichia coli mutant lacking both phosphoglucose isomerase and glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase accumulated, internally, high concentrations (approximately 50 mM) of glucose 6-phosphate. It also accumulated glucose in polysaccharide form. Other metabolism of glucose, if any, was very restricted. The accumulation of glucose 6-phosphate was associated with inhi...

passivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading

this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
