Insight into the Kluyveromyces lactis Pdr1p regulon.
The overexpression of efflux pumps is an important mechanism leading to the development of multidrug resistance phenomenon. The transcription factor KlPdr1p, belonging to the Zn2Cys6 family, is a central regulator of efflux pump expression in Kluyveromyces lactis. To better understand how KlPDR1-mediated drug resistance is achieved in K. lactis, we used DNA microarrays to identify genes whose e...
متن کاملExtension of Chronological Lifespan by Hexokinase Mutation in Kluyveromyces lactis Involves Increased Level of the Mitochondrial Chaperonin Hsp60
Oxidative damage, mitochondrial dysfunction, genomic instability, and telomere shortening represent all molecular processes proposed as causal factors in aging. Lifespan can be increased by metabolism through an influence on such processes. Glucose reduction extends chronological lifespan (CLS) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae through metabolic adaptation to respiration. To answer the question if th...
متن کاملRegulation of lactose transport in Kluyveromyces lactis
Kluyveromyces lactis is able to ferment lactose and it is considered as an alternative model for biochemical, physiological and genetic studies in nonSaccharomyces yeasts. Understanding the mechanisms of lactose uptake and the regulation involved in the transport is an important step towards better biotechnological applications. The transport of lactose in K. lactis is mediated by a membrane pe...
متن کاملReoxidation of cytosolic NADPH in Kluyveromyces lactis.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Kluyveromyces lactis are considered to be the prototypes of two distinct metabolic models of facultatively-aerobic yeasts: Crabtree-positive/fermentative and Crabtree-negative/respiratory, respectively. Our group had previously proposed that one of the molecular keys supporting this difference lies in the mechanisms involved in the reoxidation of the NADPH produced ...
متن کاملGenetics and molecular physiology of the yeast Kluyveromyces lactis.
With the recent development of powerful molecular genetic tools, Kluyveromyces lactis has become an excellent alternative yeast model organism for studying the relationships between genetics and physiology. In particular, comparative yeast research has been providing insights into the strikingly different physiological strategies that are reflected by dominance of respiration over fermentation ...
