Abstract
The characteristics of the inducible galactose system in Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied by using the nonmetabolized galactose analogues, l-arabinose and d-fucose, and galactokinaseless and transportless mutants. Induced wild-type cells transport l-arabinose by facilitated diffusion. Transportless cells transport neither galactose nor l-arabinose above the noninduced rate, whereas galactokinaseless cells transport galactose l-arabinose and d-fucose by facilitated diffusion. Determination of unidirectional rate of (14)C-labeled galactose uptake by preloaded galactokinaseless cells, containing a large unlabeled free-galactose pool, showed that the rate of galactose uptake by facilitated diffusion is greater than the rate of galactose metabolism at similar external galactose concentrations.Entities:
