Hexose kinases in rice embryos have been characterized. Six isoforms were detected: i.e. three glucokinases (GK1-3), two hexokinases (HK1 and HK2) and one fructokinase (FK1). Out of these, GK3, HK1 and HK2 were inhibited by mannoheptulose and glucosamine, known inhibitors of hexokinase activity. These inhibitors are also known to be modulators of sugar sensing processes. The results suggest that GK3, HK1 and HK2 may play a role in sensing the cellular sugar status in the rice embryo.
The divergently transcribed sacBK and sacAR operons, which are involved in the utilization of sucrose by Lactococcus lactis NZ9800, were examined by transcriptional and gene inactivation studies. Northern analyses of RNA isolated from cells grown at the expense of different carbon sources revealed three sucrose-inducible transcripts: one of 3.2 kb containing sacB and sacK, a second of 3.4 kb containing sacA and sacR, and a third of 1.8 kb containing only sacR. The inactivation of the sacR gene by replacement recombination resulted in the constitutive transcription of the sacBK and sacAR operons in the presence of different carbon sources, indicating that SacR acts as a repressor of transcription.
