| Abstract |
N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) is an important structural component of the cell wall chitin, N-glycans, glycolipids, and GPI-anchors in eukaryotes. GlcNAc kinase phosphorylates GlcNAc into GlcNAc-6-phosphate, a precursor of uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) that serves as a substrate for glycan synthesis. Although GlcNAc kinase is found widely in organisms ranging from microorganisms to mammals, it has never been found in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Here, we demonstrate the presence of GlcNAc metabolism for UDP-GlcNAc biosynthesis in S. cerevisiae through Ngk1, a GlcNAc kinase we discovered previously. The overexpression or deletion of Ngk1 in the presence of GlcNAc affected the amount of both UDP-GlcNAc and chitin, suggesting that GlcNAc metabolism via Ngk1 promotes UDP-GlcNAc synthesis. Our data suggest that the Ngk1-mediated GlcNAc metabolism compensates for the hexosamine pathway, a known pathway for UDP-GlcNAc synthesis. |
