Term Name: carbon catabolite repression of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose
Synonyms: down regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose, down-regulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose, downregulation of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose, inhibition of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose
Definition: A transcription regulation process in which the presence of glucose leads to a decrease in the frequency, rate, or extent of transcription of specific RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes involved in the metabolism of other carbon sources. Carbon catabolite repression is a mechanism of genetic regulation which the accumulation of catabolites of one substance in the cell represses the formation of enzymes that contribute to the catabolism of other substances.
