title: Stress induces an increased hexose uptake in cultured cells.
abstract: Temperature-sensitive mutants have revealed a region of the herpes simplex virus 1 genome that affects both the uptake of hexose and the synthesis of heat shock proteins. Other inducers of heat-shock proteins, namely heat shock itself and arsenite, likewise induce an increased uptake of hexose. The increased uptake, like that induced by insulin, is insensitive to the presence of actinomycin D or cycloheximide. It is concluded that an increased hexose uptake, reflecting an activation or relocation of existing hexose transport protein, is a general biochemical response of stressed cells.
