Enzyme I of the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate: glycose phosphotransferase system has 2 tryptophan residues/monomer, as determined spectrophotometrically. The tryptophan fluorescence has been investigated with the aid of nanosecond time-resolved techniques. The decay of the fluorescence intensity was analyzed in terms of a biexponential function. The contribution of the emission associated with the shorter decay constant increases from 17-19% at 1 degree C to 43-44% at room temperature. Decay-associated spectra obtained with Enzyme I indicate different spectral distributions associated with the two decay constants. The measurement of tumbling of Enzyme I as a function of temperature revealed a transition of rotational rates between 5 and 15.5 degrees C. Global analysis allowed decomposition of the anisotropy decay into a formulation consistent with monomer and dimer rotational contributions.

D010731 Phosphoenolpyruvate Sugar Phosphotransferase System The bacterial sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) that catalyzes the transfer of the phosphoryl group from phosphoenolpyruvate to its sugar substrates (the PTS sugars) concomitant with the translocation of these sugars across the bacterial membrane. The phosphorylation of a given sugar requires four proteins, two general proteins, Enzyme I and HPr and a pair of sugar-specific proteins designated as the Enzyme II complex. The PTS has also been implicated in the induction of synthesis of some catabolic enzyme systems required for the utilization of sugars that are not substrates of the PTS as well as the regulation of the activity of ADENYLYL CYCLASES.

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
