The Saccharomyces cerevisiae JEN1 gene encoding the lactate transporter undergoes strong catabolic repression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. JEN1 mRNA decay is greatly accelerated upon the addition of a pulse of glucose, fructose or mannose to induced cell cultures. Mapping of the 5´UTRs and 3´UTRs of JEN1 transcripts revealed multiple transcription start-sites located at position -51,...

A lactate permease was biochemically identified in Candida albicans RM1000 presenting the following kinetic parameters at pH 5.0: Km 0.33 ± 0.09 mM and Vmax 0.85± 0.06 nmol s-1 mg dry wt-1. Lactate uptake was competitively inhibited by pyruvic and propionic acids; acetic acid behaved as a non-competitive substrate. An ORF homologous to Saccharomyces cerevisiae gene JEN1 was identified (CaJEN1). Deletions of bot...
