carbon catabolite repression of transcription from RNA polymerase II promoter by glucose

Term ID

GO:0000433

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.
