Abstract in Portuguese
O sistema celulolítico do fungo filamentoso Trichoderma reesei é induzido transcricionalmente em pelo menos 1000 vezes pelo crescimento do fungo na presença de celulose e fortemente reprimido por glicose. Usando a abordagem de deleção no promotor, determinou-se que a região localizada entre -241 e -72 bp, em relação ao TATA box, denominada UARcb1, é responsável pela transcrição estimulada por celulose da enzima celobiohidrolase I (cbhl). Neste trabalho mostramos que essa região controla a transcrição de um gene repórter, sofrendo repressão por glicose, em Saccharomyces cerevisiae, um microrganismo que não possui os genes necessários para a utilização de celulose. A transcrição mediada por UARcbl, que é controlada por glicose, requer o produto do gene SNFl, uma proteína quinase, e dois repressores: SSN6 e TUP1, cujos papéis no controle de genes reprimidos por glicose, na levedura, são bem estabelecidos. Nossos resultados indicam um mecanismo conservado de controle por glicose em microrganismos eucarióticos.

Abstract in English
The cellulotic system of the filamentous fungus Trichoderma reesei is transcriptionally induced 1000 -fold in presence of cellulose and is strongly repressed by glucose. Using the promoter deletion approach, the upstream activating region (UARcbl) responsible for cellulose-stimulated transcription of the major member of the cellulase system, cellobiohydrolase I, was localized between -241 and -72 relative to the TATA box. In this work we show that this region controls transcription and mediates glucose repression of a reporter gene in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, a unicellular microorganism that lacks the genes required for the utilization of cellulose. Glucose-controlled transcription mediated by the UARcbl requires the product of SNF1 gene, a protein kinase, and two repressors SSN6 and TUP1, which are well estalished in controlling glucose-represible yeast genes. Our results indicate a conserved mechanism of glucose control in eukariotic microorganisms.
