Biochemical-genetic aspects of saccharose utilization by yeast of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.Peer-reviewed article

M. OBERNAUEROVÁ, J. ŠUBÍK

A brief review of biochemical properties and the genetic specification of invertase (b-D-fructofuranosidase EC 3.2.1.26) is given in the article. The organization of SUC genes family in yeast and their expression connected with glycosylation of invertase with secretion into the periplasmic space of the cell is described. Control mechanisms of the invertase expression on the level of transcription, translation, post-translation changes as well as the transport of glycosylated invertase prom the cell are discussed. At the end the invertase application and the yeasts with the invertase hyperproduction are described.
