Effects of colicins E1 and K on transport systems. 1969

K L Fields, and S E Luria

The effect of colicins E1 and K on active transport of beta-d-galactosides and of alpha-methyl-d-glucoside (alphaMG) by Escherichia coli was studied. These colicins strongly inhibited the accumulation of thio-methyl-galactoside (TMG) by bacteria and caused rapid exit of previously accumulated TMG. The inhibition effect was limited to the accumulation phase of galactoside transport; the rate of hydrolysis of o-nitrophenyl galactoside, which is dependent on transport of the substrate by the lactose-permease system, was only slightly affected. The accumulation of alphaMG was highly resistant to inhibition by these colicins under conditions which caused complete suppression of TMG accumulation. These effects of the colicins on transport resemble qualitatively those of sodium azide. The findings were interpreted by assuming that colicins E1 and K inhibit the energy-dependent steps in the accumulation of TMG but do not affect facilitated diffusion of galactosides mediated by the specific transport mechanism. The continued accumulation of alphaMG was attributed to the fact that this compound is stored by E. coli cells as a phosphorylated compound by a phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent transport system rather than by an adenosine triphosphate-linked accumulation mechanism.

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
D005690 Galactose An aldohexose that occurs naturally in the D-form in lactose, cerebrosides, gangliosides, and mucoproteins. Deficiency of galactosyl-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALACTOSE-1-PHOSPHATE URIDYL-TRANSFERASE DEFICIENCY DISEASE) causes an error in galactose metabolism called GALACTOSEMIA, resulting in elevations of galactose in the blood. D-Galactose,Galactopyranose,Galactopyranoside,D Galactose
D006027 Glycosides Any compound that contains a constituent sugar, in which the hydroxyl group attached to the first carbon is substituted by an alcoholic, phenolic, or other group. They are named specifically for the sugar contained, such as glucoside (glucose), pentoside (pentose), fructoside (fructose), etc. Upon hydrolysis, a sugar and nonsugar component (aglycone) are formed. (From Dorland, 28th ed; From Miall's Dictionary of Chemistry, 5th ed) Glycoside
