Abstract:Background
Saccharomyces cerevisiae is often used as a cell factory for the production of S-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM) for diverse pharmaceutical applications. However, SAM production by S. cerevisiae is negatively influenced by glucose repression, which is regulated by a serine/threonine kinase SNF1 complex. Here, a strategy of alleviating glucose repression by deleting REG1 (encodes the regulatory subunit of protein phosphatase 1) and overexpressing SNF1 (encodes the catalytic subunit of the… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
