Biochem/physiol Actions

Glycerol 3-phosphate (G3P) is an important intermediate of carbohydrate and lipid metabolic pathways. It is produced from glycerol by glycerol kinase or from dihydroxyacetone phosphate by glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase. G3P may enter the G3P shuttle to generate NAD+, or may be converted to glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate and enter glycolysis or the lipid biosynthesis pathway. Ugp-dependent transport system for G3P in E. coli.
Metabolite in glycerolipid metabolism and glycerophospholipid metabolism. Ugp-dependent transport system for G3P in E. coli.

Production of glycerol and a key enzyme in glycerol production, glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NAD+) (GPD), was studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae cultured in basal media or media of high salinity, with glucose, raffinose or ethanol as the sole carbon source. At

The existence of specific dl-glycerol-3-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.21) activity in extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was confirmed by examining strains lacking nonspecific acid and alkaline phosphatase activities. During purification of the glycerol-3-phosphatase, two isozymes having very similar molecular weights were isolated by

A fundamental goal of cell biology is to define the functions of proteins in the context of compartments that organize them in the cellular environment. Here we describe the construction and analysis of a collection of yeast strains expressing full-length

The ugp-dependent transport system for sn-glycerol-3-phosphate has been characterized. The system is induced under conditions of phosphate starvation and in mutants that are constitutive for the pho regulon. The system does not operate in membrane vesicles and is highly sensitive
