Disease relevance of GPD2

  • This was done by deletion of GPD1 and GPD2, encoding two isoenzymes of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and expression of a cytoplasmic transhydrogenase from Azotobacter vinelandii, encoded by cth [1].
 

High impact information on GPD2

  • In the mutant, Deltagpd1/gpd2, lacking glycerol biosynthesis, the stress response was magnified with a partially different set of up-regulated ORFs [2].
  • Deletion of the aldehyde dehydrogenase gene, ALD6, in wild-type and GPD2 overexpressing strains (GPD2-OP) decreased acetic acid production by three- and four-fold, respectively [3].
  • At high demand for NADH reoxidation, a strong induction was seen not only of the GPD2 gene, but also of GPP1, encoding one of the molecular forms of glycerol-3-phosphatase [4].
  • NAD(+)-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase in S. cerevisiae is present in two isoforms, coded for by two different genes, GPD1 and GPD2 [4].
  • In anaerobic batch fermentations of strain TN5 (gpd2-Delta1), formation of glycerol was significantly impaired, which resulted in reduction of the maximum specific growth rate from 0.41/h in the wild-type to 0.08/h. Deletion of GPD2 also resulted in a reduced biomass yield, but did not affect formation of the remaining products [1].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of GPD2

  • The results of Northern blot analysis of GPD genes (GPD1 and GPD2) encoding the GPDH enzyme showed that the transcription of GPD genes was not affected by heat-shock treatment but the period of intensive transcription of GPD1 was prolonged [5].
