1 The transcription factor ADR1 is required to fully activate expression when glucose becomes depleted. Glucose DNA-binding transcription factor ADR1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
2 Partial activation during growth on glucose occurred in cells carrying a constitutive allele of ADR1 in which the phosphorylatable serine of a cyclic AMP (cAMP)-dependent protein kinase phosphorylation site had been changed to alanine. Glucose DNA-binding transcription factor ADR1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
3 When glucose was removed from the growth medium, a substantial increase in the level of this constitutive expression was observed for both the ADH2 gene and a reporter construct containing the ADR1 binding site. Glucose DNA-binding transcription factor ADR1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
4 This suggests that glucose can block ADR1-mediated activation independently of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation at serine 230. Glucose DNA-binding transcription factor ADR1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
5 Yeast strains carrying a deletion of the REG1 gene, reg1-1966, showed a large increase in ADR1-dependent expression of ADH2 during growth on glucose. Glucose DNA-binding transcription factor ADR1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
6 Our results suggest that glucose repression in the presence of ADR1 constitutive alleles occurs primarily through a REG1-dependent pathway which appears to affect ADH2 transcription at multiple levels. Glucose DNA-binding transcription factor ADR1 Saccharomyces cerevisiae S288C
