Abstract: | DEAE cellulose chromatography and agar gel electrophoresis of glucose-phosphorylating enzymes in Saccharomyces cerevisiae showed the existence of glucokinase and two hexokinase isoenzymes ( designated as hexokinase I and II ). The distribution of hexokinase isoenzymes was dependent on a carbon source in the medium, while that of glucokinase was not dependent. The cells grown on 3 % ethanol as carbon source showed the isoenzyme pattern with predominant hexokinase I and a little hexokinase II. The isoenzyme pattern of the cells grown on 6 % glucose, which was differnt from that of the cells grown on ethanol, showed that hexokinase I and II were minor and major parts respectively. When the cells grown on 3 % ethanol were incubated on the medium containing 6 % glucose, hexokinase I was repressed and hexokinase II inducted. These facts suggest that two hexokinase isoenzymes, but not glucokinase, are adaptive enzyme. |
