Disease relevance of EMI2

The highest titers and yields of shikimic acid biosynthesized from glucose in 1 L fermentor runs were achieved using E. coli SP1.lpts/pSC6.090B, which expressed both Z. mobilis glf-encoded glucose facilitator protein and Z. mobilis glk-encoded glucose kinase in a host deficient in the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system [1].

High impact information on EMI2

Three genes are somehow involved in glucose utilization (HXT4,YIL107c, EMI2) [2].
