Abstract

The hexose transporter family of Saccharomyces cerevisiae comprises 18 proteins (Hxt1–17, Gal2). Here, we demonstrate that all these proteins, except Hxt12, and additionally three members of the maltose transporter family (Agt1, Ydl247, Yjr160) are able to transport hexoses. In a yeast strain deleted for HXT1–17, GAL2, AGT1, YDL247w and YJR160c, glucose consumption and transport activity were completely abolished. However, as additional deletion of the glucose sensor gene SNF3 partially restored growth on hexoses, our data indicate the existence of even more proteins able to transport hexoses in yeast.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
