High impact information on ATHXK1

  • The characterization of the gin5 mutant, on the other hand, reveals that glucose-specific accumulation of ABA is essential for hexokinase-mediated glucose responses [1].
  • VIGS of Hxk1 reduced the cellular glucose-phosphorylating activity to approximately 31% of control levels without changing the fructose-phosphorylating activity and did not alter hexose phosphate content severely [2].
  • Hxk1 was associated with the mitochondria, and this association required the N-terminal membrane anchor [2].
  • Recent findings suggest a pivotal role for mitochondria-associated hexokinase in the regulation of apoptosis in animal cells [2].
  • In this study, virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) of a hexokinase-encoding Hxk1 caused necrotic lesions on leaves, abnormal leaf morphology, and retarded plant growth in Nicotiana benthamiana [2].
 

Biological context of ATHXK1

 

Anatomical context of ATHXK1

  • Finally, the addition of recombinant Hxk1 to mitochondria-enriched fractions prevented H(2)O(2)/clotrimazole-induced cytochrome c release and loss of mitochondrial membrane potential [2].
  • The in vitro activities of hexokinase, vacuolar acid invertase, and cell wall acid invertase do not change until the late stages of senescence, when they increase markedly [8].
 

Associations of ATHXK1 with chemical compounds

 

Regulatory relationships of ATHXK1

  • By contrast, the stimulation of LKR/SDH protein expression by sugar starvation is regulated by the hexokinase-signaling cascade in a similar manner to the repression of many photosynthetic genes by sugars [12].
