High impact information on XKS1

 

Biological context of XKS1

 

Associations of XKS1 with chemical compounds

  • Anaerobic xylose fermentation by recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae carrying XYL1, XYL2, and XKS1 in mineral medium chemostat cultures [7].
  • Growth inhibition increased and ethanol yields from xylose decreased with increasing XK activity [3].
  • Overexpression of XYL3 and XKS1 inhibited growth on xylose but did not affect growth on glucose even though XK activities were three times higher in glucose-grown cells [3].
  • Specific xylulose consumption rate was enhanced by the increased specific XK activity, resulting from the introduction of the XKS1 into S. cerevisiae [8].
  • However, overexpression of XKS1 shifted polyol formation from xylitol to arabinitol [9].
 

Regulatory relationships of XKS1

 

Other interactions of XKS1

  • The strain expressed XR, XDH, and XK activities of 0.4 to 0.5, 2.7 to 3.4, and 1.5 to 1.7 U/mg, respectively, and was stable for more than 40 generations in continuous fermentations [7].
