carbon catabolite repression of transcription by glucose

Term ID

GO:0045014

Synonyms

• down regulation of transcription by glucose
• down-regulation of transcription by glucose
• downregulation of transcription by glucose
• glucose effect
• glucose repression
• inhibition of transcription 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 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.
