Figure 1.
Yeast release UDP-glucose. (A) Yeast were incubated in assay buffer with 0% (○) or 1% (w/v) glucose (◼) and UDP-glucose levels measured at the indicated times via a biochemical assay (n = 4). Yeast release UDP-glucose in a linear fashion in both the presence and absence of glucose. (B) ATP levels in yeast incubated with varying concentrations of glucose were measured at the indicated times (n = 4). Unlike that of UDP-glucose, the rate of release of ATP was greatly reduced in the absence of glucose.
