By comparing the concentrations of various glucose metabolites and lipogenic-related gene expression in primary cultured hepatocytes, it is shown that glucose 6-phosphate is likely to be the signal metabolite.

In transgenic nul USF2 mice, it is shown that the glucose induction of L-pyruvate kinase gene expression is strongly delayed, suggesting an important role for this transcription factor in glucose signalling.

Upstream stimulatory factor-2 (USF2) activity is required for glucose stimulation of L-pyruvate kinase promoter activity in single living islet β cells. J Biol Chem 1997; 272:20636-20640. Using antibodies against USF2 and an elegant cell imaging technique, it was shown in single cells that the L-pyruvate kinase glucose response element is dependent upon the functionality of this transcription factor to respond fully to glucose.
31. ••] using similar techniques, it was shown that dominant negative forms of USF do not preclude the glucose response of the S14 and L-PK promoters. In addition mutated E-boxes which cannot bind USF are still glucose-responsive.

J Clin Invest 1998; 101:1-9. The role of ADD1/SREBP in the control of fatty acid synthase gene expression and its response to insulin is emphasized. It is demonstrated that an E-box in the proximal promoter of fatty acid synthase is the target of ADD1/SREBP action and that the expression of ADD1/SREBP itself is under the control of insulin.

J Biol Chem 1998; 273:14767-14771. The potential involvement of AMP-activated protein kinase in the regulation by glucose of FAS gene expression is shown in primary cultures of hepatocytes. Interestingly enough, this kinase is the mammalian homologue of SNF1, a kinase involved in yeasts in the derepression of genes inhibited by glucose.

In yeast, Mig1, a transcription factor which is a negative regulator of genes repressed by glucose, is rapidly translocated into the nucleus in conditions of high glucose concentrations in the culture medium. This translocation is regulated by phosphorylation/dephosphorylation mechanisms probably involving SNF1, the yeast analogue of AMPK.
