Differential D-glucose requirements of the general amino-acid permease and protein synthesis in Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus.
The dependence of the general aminoacid permease and protein synthesis on the availability of D-glucose as energy source was studied. Stimulation by the sugar was immediate once added to the cell suspensions and seems to be mediated by energy derived directly from glycolysis. The general aminoacid permease was saturated linearly with D-glucose whereas protein synthesis was saturated sigmoidealy requiring much higher concentration of the sugar than the general aminoacid permease.
