Cryptococcus is a major fungal pathogen that frequently causes systemic infection in
patients with compromised immunity. Glucose, an important signal molecule and the …

We carried out a screen for Cryptococcus neoformans genes involved in resistance to
copper ion toxicity and identified a new hexose transporter (Hxt) gene, HXT1. Hxt1 consists …

Two glucose/xylose transporter genes from Candida intermedia were recently cloned and
characterized: GXF1, which encodes a glucose/xylose facilitator; and GXS1, which encodes …

To characterize the mechanisms involved in glucose transport, in the filamentous fungus
Aspergillus nidulans, we have identified four glucose transporter encoding genes hxtB-E …

One of the drawbacks during second-generation biofuel production from plant
lignocellulosic biomass is the accumulation of glucose, the preferred carbon source of …

The Crabtree effect molecular regulation comprehension could help to improve ethanol
production with biotechnological purposes and a better understanding of cancer etiology …

Candida intermedia PYCC 4715 was previously shown to grow well on xylose and to
transport this sugar by two different transport systems: high-capacity and low-affinity …

The glucose transporter is an important player in cell metabolism that mediates the
intracellular uptake of glucose. Here, we characterized the glucose transporter Stp1 from the …

Glucose, a ubiquitous carbon source preferred by most cells (96), was first identified by
Andreas Marggraf in 1747 (67). Even though it is the most abundant hexose on earth (33) …

We have cloned the first glucose transporter CaHGT1 (C andida a lbicans h igh-affinity g
lucose t ransporter) of a pathogenic yeast, Candida albicans. The DNA sequence (GenBank …
