The biological interconversion of galactose and glucose takes place only by way of the Leloir pathway and requires the three enzymes galactokinase, galactose-1-P uridylyltransferase, and UDP-galactose 4-epimerase. The only biological importance of these enzymes appears to be to provide for

During evolution, genetic networks are rewired through strengthening or weakening their interactions to develop new regulatory schemes. In the galactose network, the GAL1/GAL3 paralogues and the GAL2 gene enhance their own expression mediated by the Gal4p transcriptional activator. The wiring

The Gal4p mediated transcriptional activation of GAL genes requires the interaction between Gal3p bound with ATP and galactose and Gal80p. Though numerous studies suggest that galactose and ATP activate Gal3p/Gal1p interaction with Gal80p, neither the mechanism of activation nor the

Recombineering is a recombination-based highly efficient method of genetic engineering. It can be used to manipulate the bacterial chromosomal DNA as well as any episomal DNA. Recombineering can be used to insert selectable or nonselectable DNA fragments and subclone DNA

Promoter-specific transcriptional activators (activators) stimulate transcription through direct interactions with one or more components of the transcription machinery, termed the "target." The identification of direct in vivo targets of activators has been a major challenge. Previous studies have provided evidence
