Resumo

In Saccharomyces cerewsiae the synthesis of alcohol dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.1), malate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.37), isocitrate lyase (EC 4.1.3.1) and malate synthase (EC 4.1.3.2) is repressed by glucose. All these enzymes participate in the formation of carbohydrates from alcohol. Therefore the “glucose effect” is useful for repressing ghiconeogenesis, which is not necessary with glucose in the growth-medium. In the case of malate dehydrogenase, glucose effects not only a repression of the synthesis but also a rapid decrease of enzyme activity. 2-Deoxyglucose and glucosamine have the same repressing effect on enzyme synthesis as glucose. Neither substance is catabolized in yeast; they are only phos-phorylated by adenosine 5′-triphosphate. Therefore we can assume that repression of the synthesis of alcohol dehydrogenase, malate dehydrogenase, isocitrate lyase and malate synthase is not caused by metabolites but by glucose itself, glucose 6-phos-phate, or perhaps by changes in the concentrations of adenosine 5'-triphosphate or -diphosphate. In Saccharomyces cerevisiae wird die Synthese von Alkoholdehydrogenase, Malatdehydrogenase, Isocitratlyase und Malatsynthase durch Glucose reprimiert. Bei Malatdehydrogenase bewirkt Glucose ausser der Hemmung der Enzym-Synthese eine rasche Abnahme der Aktivität. Da alle genannten Enzyme an der Neubildung von Kohlenhydrat aus Alkohol beteiligt sind, dient dieser “Glucose-Effekt” der Unterdrückung der bei Anwesenheit von Glucose im Nährmedium nicht notwen-digen Gluconeogenese. 2-Desoxyglucose und Glucosamin wirken ebenso reprimierend auf die Enzym-Synthese wie Glucose. Da beide Substanzen in Hefe nicht abgebaut, sondern ledig-lich mit ATP phosphoryliert werden, kann man annehmen, dass die Repression der Synthese von Alkoholdehydrogenase, Malatdehydrogenase, Isocitratlyase und Malatsynthase nicht durch Metabolite, sondern durch Glucose selbst oder Glucose-6-phos-phat oder eventuell durch veränderte Konzentrationen an ATP bzw. ADP verur-sacht wird.
