Abstract
The present invention relates to a glucose-induced inactivation- or degradation-resistant transporter gene and use thereof, and more particularly, to a brewing yeast having excellent assimilation of oligosaccharides (e.g., maltose or maltotriose), an alcoholic beverage prepared using the yeast, and a method of producing the alcoholic beverage. More specifically, the present invention relates to a glucose-induced inactivation- or degradation-resistant transporter including, for example, Mal21p, mutant Mal31p, mutant Mal61p, mutant Mtt1p or mutant Agt1p, a gene encoding the transporter, and a method of producing an alcoholic beverage using the same.
