Methionine sulfoxide is transported by high-affinity methionine and glutamine transport systems in Salmonella typhimurium.
Three lines of evidence indicated that methionine sulfoxide is transported by the high-affinity methionine and glutamine transport systems in Salmonella typhimurium. First, methionine-requiring strains (metE) which have mutations affecting both of these transport systems (metP glnP) were unable to use methionine sulfoxide as a source of methionine. These strains could still grow on L-methionine...
متن کاملMethionine transport in wild-type and transport-defective mutants of Salmonella typhimurium.
Salmonella typhimurium possesses a permease specific for L-methionine (K, of 0.1 to 0-2 p ~ ) . Competition studies have shown that the permease has little or no affinity for the other L-amino acids commonly found in proteins. Methionine uptake was competitively inhibited by the growth inhj bitory analogues DLethionine, a-methyl-DL-methionine and DL-methionhe-DL-sulphoximine. Mutants resistant ...
متن کاملDaily rhythmicity of high affinity copper transport.
A differential demand for copper (Cu) of essential cupro-proteins that act within the mitochondrial and chloroplastal electronic transport chains occurs along the daily light/dark cycles. This requires a fine-tuned spatiotemporal regulation of Cu delivery, becoming especially relevant under non-optimal growth conditions. When scarce, Cu is imported through plasma membrane-bound high affinity Cu...
متن کاملMethionine synthesis by extracts of Salmonella typhimurium.
1. Following the genetic studies by Smith (1961) and Smith & Childs (1963) with methionine auxotrophs of Salmonella typhimurium, methionine formation from homocysteine has been investigated with cell-free extracts of this organism. 2. As found with Escherichia coli (Woods, Foster & Guest, 1964), methyl groups are formed by an N(5)N(10)-methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. They are then transfer...
متن کاملCloning and transposon insertion mutagenesis of virulence genes of the 100-kilobase plasmid of Salmonella typhimurium.
We have cloned regions of the 100-kilobase (kb) plasmid, pStSR100, of Salmonella typhimurium SR-11 that confer virulence to plasmid-cured S. typhimurium. Cells carrying recombinant plasmids that conferred virulence were selected by inoculating mice orally with recombinant libraries in virulence plasmid-cured S. typhimurium and harvesting isolates that infected spleens. Three plasmids, pYA401, p...
