trehalose synthase

catalyzes the conversion of maltose into alpha,alpha-trehalose by intramolecular transglucosylation; in yeast the trehalose synthase complex consists of several proteins including TPS2

Also Known As:

TPS2 protein, S cerevisiae; TreS enzyme; Trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase protein, S cerevisiae; YDR074W protein, S cerevisiae; trehalose-forming enzyme

Starvation

09/25/1996 - "Like for many other genes containing STREs, expression of the trehalose synthase genes is also induced by heat and osmotic stress and by nutrient starvation, and negatively regulated by the Ras-cAMP pathway. "
01/28/2014 - "In addition, several genes involved in spore wall metabolism and the uptake of ammonium, which are closely related to the starvation response, and many stress-responsive genes mediated by Msn2/4p, as well as trehalose synthase genes, increased in expression when fermenting with xylose, irrespective of the yeast strain.
