Involvement of the Escherichia coli Phosphoenolpyruvate‐Dependent Phosphotransferase System in Regulation of Transcription of Catabolic Genes

Abstract: Synthesis of catabolite-sensitive enzymes is repressed in mutants defective in the general proteins (enzyme I and HPr) of the Escherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system (ptsl and ptsH mutations). To elucidate the mechanism of this phenomenon we constructed isogenic strains carrying pts mutations as well as different lesions of regulation of the lac operon or mutations affecting adenylate cyclase activity (cyu mutation) and synthesis of cyclic-AMP-receptor protein (crp mutation) Me… Show more

“…The following E. coli K-12 strains were used: HfrC (met), JC8563 (met ilv), J621 (his trp strr). Growth of bacteria and/~-galactosidase assay were as in [6]. Carbohydrate (0.01 mM) utilization was studied in bacteria grown into the logarithmic phase in media containing either mannose, glucose or mannitol.…”

“…Factor IIIG1" is a soluble phosphoprotein, which transfers phosphoryl groups from phospho-HPr to the membrane-bound enzyme/1I-BG'". The activity of the glucose-specific IIIG1"/II-BG1" pathway varies with the growth conditions and is maximal if the cells are grown with glucose as a carbon source [3].In addition to its role in sugar transport, the P-pyruvate : sugar phosphotransferase system was shown to be involved in the regulation of cell metabolism [1,4]. Both the rate of synthesis of adenosine 3',5'-(cyclic) monophosphate [5 -81 and the transport of several metabolites which are not substrates of P-pyruvate : sugar phosphotransferase [1,9 -111 is Abbreviations.…”

“…These mutations lead to the abrupt decrease in phospho-HPr -a donor of the phosphoryl group in the vector reactions of carbohydrate phosphorylation catalyzed by the specific components of the PT-system [3,4]. Besides alteration of the in vitro phosphotr~~erase reaction and transport function of the PT-system, the lack of phospho+Pr leads to changes in regulation of inducible enzyme synthesis, characteristic to pts mutants [1] …”

“…The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): sugar phosphotransferase system (the PT-system) is known to regulate the synthesis of certain inducible enzymes [ 1,2]. The behaviour of pfs1 and prsH mutants (i.e., mutants with defective common components of the PT-system enzyme I and protein HPr) indicates that pts gene products are functional in inducible enzyme synthesis [2].…”
