Galactose utilization

Galactose utilization by the rat tapeworm Hymenolepis diminuta. Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology, 57B 329-33. 

Recent experiments even more clearly revealed the role of chromatin structure in regulating access to DNA binding sites. Genes required for galactose utilization in yeast are activated by a DNA-binding protein called GAL4, which recognizes... 

The main route for galactose utilization is conversion to glucose-6-phosphate, as shown in Figure... 

The A, chromosome integrates at a specific site on the E. coli chromosome, attB, which maps between genes involved in galactose utilization and biotin synthesis (the gal and bio markers), as illustrated in Figure 25.17. Integration occurs at a specific site on the phage chromosome called attP. 

The responses to systematic perturbations of a metabolic network (galactose utilization) have been measured with microarrays and methods of quantitative proteomics. Nearly a thousand mRNA were identified in twenty systematic perturbations, which led to the identification of the physical interactions governing the cellular response to each perturbation [16],...

Liver function in EHL is typically normal when determined by measurement of serum bilirubin and galactose utilization. Lipemia makes flocculation tests unreliable. The sedimentation rate may be increased. 

The study of galactose utilization by adapted yeast revealed the presence of a galactokinase in partially purified extracts. The enzyme, like all known phosphokinases, required Mg++, and transferred phosphate to galactose from ATP. The isolated product proved to be a-n-galactose-l-phosphate (see 4).
