Question

What is the role of glucose in regulation of transcription?

Answer 1

I thinks it plays a major role in the activation of Carbohydrate response element binding proteins.(CHREBP) these proteins are known to bind to DNA thus influencing the transcription process.

Answer 19

Glucose is the primary regulator of insulin granule release from pancreatic islets. In rodent islets, the role of glucose in the acute regulation of insulin gene transcription has remained unclear, primarily because the abundance and long half-life of insulin mRNA confounds analysis of transcription by traditional methods that measure steady-state mRNA levels,glucose facilitates its own use by inducing expression of genes involved in its metabolism while repressing that of those involved in the utilization of alternative carbon sources.
