Abstract
By studying the energy-requiring control of the hexose transport system (the transport "curb") in a lung fibroblast mutant called the phosphoglucose isomerase mutant (because it is devoid of the enzyme phosphoglucose isomerase) the following features were noted. The aldohexose D-allose, if added over 20 hr to a culture of the mutant, promotes the development of an intense curb of the hexose transport system, greatly surpassing that brought about by incubation with glucose. The allose-mediated curb can be circumvented by various metabolic inhibitors as well as by the presence of other aldohexoses such as mannose.Entities:
