Plasmid-mediated uptake and metabolism of sucrose by Escherichia coli K-12.
The conjugative plasmid pUR400 determines tetracycline resistance and enables cells of Escherichia coli K-12 to utilize sucrose as the sole carbon source. Three types of mutants affecting sucrose metabolism were derived from pUR400. One type lacked a specific transport system (srcA); another lacked sucrose-6-phosphate hydrolase (scrB); and the third, a regulatory mutant, expressed both of these...
متن کاملPhosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system enzyme III and plasmid-encoded sucrose transport in Escherichia coli K-12.
The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate:phosphotransferase system enzyme IISCR, specific for and regulated by sucrose, was analyzed in derivatives of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying the sucrose plasmid pUR404. Enzyme IIScr, coded for by gene scrA of the plasmid, depended for its transport and phosphorylation activity directly on the phosphotransferase system enzyme IIIGlc, Scr, coded for ...
متن کاملNonrandom F-plasmid replication in Escherichia coli K-12.
Both the autonomous and chromosomally integrated F plasmids were found to replicate in a nonrandom fashion after a density transfer from heavy medium ([13C]glucose, 15NH4) to light medium ([12C]glucose, 14NH4). The data are consistent with the hypothesis that both the chromosome and the F plasmid are replicated in a cell cycle-specific manner. Thus, these data support the proposal (J. D. Keasli...
متن کاملCharacterization of Pyruvate Uptake in Escherichia coli K-12
The monocarboxylate pyruvate is an important metabolite and can serve as sole carbon source for Escherichia coli. Although specific pyruvate transporters have been identified in two bacterial species, pyruvate transport is not well understood in E. coli. In the present study, pyruvate transport was investigated under different growth conditions. The transport of pyruvate shows specific activiti...
متن کاملRegulation of glyoxylate metabolism in Escherichia coli K-12.
The relative contributions of the dicarboxylic acid and the tricarboxylic acid cycles to the oxidative catabolism of glyoxylate in Escherichia coli K-12 were deduced by analysis of mutant strains that were blocked in the formation of glyoxylate carboligase and of malate synthase G (the "glycolate form" of malate synthase). Mutant strains unable to form malate synthase G were unimpaired in their...
