Molecular cloning, immunolocalization, and transgenic expression in yeast and tobacco of three cDNAs that encode sugar transporters in sugar beet
Sugar transporter genes from sugar beet have been cloned as a first step in understanding their contribution to assimilate partitioning. Two cloning strategies were attempted. One was functional complementation of a yeast mutant with a sugar beet cDNA library constructed in a yeast expression …

Sweet relief: regulating the response to glucose phosphate stress by the small RNA SgrS & Co.
… carries the risk of the buildup of phosphosugars, which can inhibit growth at high concentrations. Many enteric bacteria cope with phosphosugar accumulation and associated stress (i.e., phosphosugar stress) by producing a small RNA (sRNA) regulator, SgrS, which represses translation of …

Small Intestinal Transporters in Two Species of Galliformes: Male and Female Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) and Chicken (Gallus gallus)
… (ASCT1, bo,+AT, CAT1, EAAT3, LAT1, y+LAT2), and sugar transporter expression (GLUT2, GLUT5, SGLT1) in the small intestine of male and female turkeys. Small intestine samples were collected during embryonic development (E21, E24) and DOH. In a separate experiment during post-hatch development …

Engineering Zymomonas mobilis for the production of biofuels and other value-added products
… it can efficiently produce ethanol from simple sugars using unique metabolic pathways. Z. mobilis displays what is known as the “uncoupled growth” phenomenon, meaning cells will rapidly convert sugars to ethanol regardless of their energy requirements for growth. This makes Z. mobilis attractive …

Pectin: New insights from an old polymer through pectinase-based genetic screens
… of which is PEC100. This gene encodes a putative sugar transporter gene, which, based on our data, is implicated in rhamnogalacturonan-I synthesis. The subcellular localization of PEC100 was studied by GFP fusion and this protein was found to be localized to the Golgi apparatus, the organelle …

Improved xylose fermentation by expression of a putative xylose transporter encoding gene HXT2.4 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
… S. cerevisiae cannot consume xylose, a pentose sugar which comprises almost 30% of lignocellulosic biomass. Metabolic and genetic engineering methods were used to develop S. cerevisiae that could consume xylose. However in S. cerevisiae, pentose sugars can only enter the cell through native …

Characterization of activation tagged potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) mutants
Generation and characterization of activation tagged potato mutants could aid in functional genomic studies. Morphological and molecular studies were conducted to compare potato cv. Bintje, its two mutants, underperformer (up), and nikku generated using the activation tagging vector pSKI074, and …

Transport processes in the arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis
… and cell-specific expression of potential transporter genes of M. truncatula that were found to be specifically regulated in arbuscule-containing cells and in non-arbusculated cells of mycorrhizal roots was confirmed. A model for the carbon allocation in mycorrhizal roots is suggested, in …

Functional and evolutionary analysis of sugar transporters in Kluyveromyces marxianus
… with some strains being able to utilise the sugar better than others. To understand the genetic basis that accounts for these differences, a detailed analysis of lactose utilisation was performed. The K. marxianus genome was found to encode four copies of the lactose permease (LAC12) gene, …
