We isolated the putative glucose repressor gene cre1 from the phytopathogenic fungus Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. cre1 encodes a 429 amino acid protein 59% similar to the carbon catabolite repressor CREA from Aspergillus nidulans. In addition to the overall amino acid sequence relatedness between CRE1 and CREA proteins, cre1 can functionally complement the A. nidulans creAd30 mutation as assessed by repression of the alcohol dehydrogenase I gene expression. The CREI region carrying the two zinc fingers is also very similar to the DNA binding domains of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae glucose repressors Mig1p and Mig2p. Despite the presence in the CRE1 protein of several motifs involved in the regulation of Miglp activity, cre1 cannot complement mig deficiencies in S. cerevisiae. These data suggest that glucose repression pathways may have evolved differently in yeasts and filamentous fungi.

Article Synopsis
- Adipocyte lipolysis plays a crucial role in regulating overall energy levels and metabolic balance, primarily controlled by specific enzymes and their modifications.
- The study identifies IRF2BP2 as a transcriptional repressor that, when deleted, boosts lipolysis in human adipocytes without altering glucose uptake, while its overexpression has the opposite effect.
- The research further reveals that the deletion of IRF2BP2 in mice leads to increased lipolysis and inflammation in adipose tissue, suggesting potential strategies for targeting lipolysis in metabolic disease treatments.

AMPK (AMP-activated protein kinase) is a crucial cellular energy sensor across all eukaryotic species. Its multiple roles in maintaining energy homeostasis, regulating cellular metabolic processes have been widely investigated in mammals. In contrast, the function of AMPK in insects has been less reported.

Cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury is one of the main causes of neuronal damage. Neuron ferroptosis and microglia polarization are considered as critical processes during cerebral ischemia/reperfusion. Adipocyte enhancer-binding protein 1 (AEBP1) usually acts as a transcriptional repressor which is involved in various diseases.

Article Synopsis
- High temperatures decrease anthocyanin levels in grapes, and this study identifies VvMYB44-1 as a key repressor of anthocyanin biosynthesis that is activated by heat treatment.
- Overexpressing VvMYB44-1 reduces anthocyanin production by downregulating genes responsible for its synthesis and inhibiting the formation of a complex that normally promotes anthocyanin accumulation.
- VvMYB44-1 also influences cytokinin levels by regulating associated genes, and its effect on anthocyanin biosynthesis is dependent on a specific EAR motif.
