[ptsS: a new regulatory element of the fructose operon in Escherichia coli]. 1988

T N Bol'shakova, and R S Erlagaeva, and N A Kyzylova, and V N Germanovich

Expression of catabolite sensitive operons is repressed in E. coli mutants devoid of HPr--a component of glucose transport system. The ptsH mutants do not utilize the substrates for phosphoenolpyruvate dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) except for fructose. Besides that, the mutants are deficient in utilization of many substrates entering the bacteria via the other transport systems. The ptsS mutation mapped in the region of the fructose regulon on the 46th min of the chromosomal map restores the growth of ptsH mutants on all substrates. The accumulation and PEP-dependent phosphorylation of proteins substrates of PTS is also restored. The synthesis of the fructose specific phosphotransferase system becomes constitutive under the effect of ptsS mutation. The mutation is supposed to impair the regulatory region of the fructose regulon.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009154 Mutation Any detectable and heritable change in the genetic material that causes a change in the GENOTYPE and which is transmitted to daughter cells and to succeeding generations. Mutations
D009876 Operon In bacteria, a group of metabolically related genes, with a common promoter, whose transcription into a single polycistronic MESSENGER RNA is under the control of an OPERATOR REGION. Operons
D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
