Hexokinase (HK) occurs in all phyla, as an enzyme of the glycolytic pathway. Its importance
in plant metabolism has emerged with compelling evidence that its preferential substrate …

Sequencing data from 10 species show that a plant hexokinase (HXK) family contains 5–11
genes. Functionally, a given family can include metabolic catalysts, glucose signaling …

Abstract Arabidopsis hexokinase1 (HXK1) is a moonlighting protein that has separable
functions in glucose signaling and in glucose metabolism. In this study, we have …

Sugars are the main carbon and energy source in cells, but they can also act as signaling
molecules that affect the whole plant life cycle. Certain tissues can produce sugars and …

The effects of manipulating nutrient supply on plant growth and development have long
been known. However, it is only recently that these effects have been understood to consist …

Previous studies have revealed a central role of Arabidopsis thaliana hexokinases (AtHXK1
and AtHXK2) in the glucose repression of photosynthetic genes and early seedling …

Hexokinase (HXK) is present in all virtually living organisms and is central to carbohydrate
metabolism catalysing the ATP‐dependent phosphorylation of hexoses. In plants, HXKs are …

Hexokinase 1 from Arabidopsis thaliana (AtHXK1) plays a dual role in glycolysis and sugar
sensing for vital metabolic and physiological processes. The uncoupling of glucose …

Two different partial sequences encoding putative hexokinase (HXK, ATP: hexose-6-
phosphotransferase, EC 2.7. 1.1) were isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) by …

Due to their central role in sugar metabolism and signalling plant hexokinases have been
studied in great detail, however, little is known about the spatial and temporal expression …
