Listeria monocytogenes Scott A transports glucose by high-affinity and low-affinity glucose transport systems.

چکیده
Listeria monocytogenes transported glucose by a high-affinity phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system and a low-affinity proton motive force-mediated system. The low-affinity system (Km = 2.9 mM) was inhibited by 2-deoxyglucose and 6-deoxyglucose, whereas the high-affinity system (Km = 0.11 mM) was inhibited by 2-deoxyglucose and mannose but not 6-deoxyglucose. Cells and vesicles artificially energized with valinomycin transported glucose or 2-deoxyglucose at rates greater than those of de-energized cells, indicating that a membrane potential could drive uptake by the low-affinity system.

An ATP-dependent L-carnitine transporter in Listeria monocytogenes Scott A is involved in osmoprotection.
Listeria monocytogenes is a gram-positive, psychotrophic, food-borne pathogen which is able to grow in osmotically stressful environments. Carnitine (beta-hydroxy-L-tau-N-trimethyl aminobutyrate) can contribute significantly to growth of L. monocytogenes at high osmolarity (R. R. Beumer, M. C. te Giffel, L. J. Cox, F. M. Rombouts, and T. Abee, Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 60:1359-1363, 1994). Tran...
متن کاملGlucose uptake by Listeria monocytogenes Scott A and inhibition by pediocin JD.
Glucose uptake by Listeria monocytogenes Scott A was inhibited by the bacteriocin pediocin JD and by the protonophore carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenyhydrazone. Experiments with monensin, nigericin, chlorhexidine diacetate, dinitrophenol, and gramicidin, however, showed that glucose uptake could occur in the absence of a proton motive force. L. monocytogenes cell extracts phosphorylated glucose w...

Background:Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a gram negative non facultative bacterium and one of the members of normal flora in different sites of body in healthy humans.this bacterium can resist in fluids and hospital environments for a long time.Pseudomonas aeruginosa has two systems for glucose uptake:a low affinity oxidative pathway and a high affinity phosohorylative pathway.Although the role of ...
متن کاملRelationship between low- and high-affinity glucose transport systems of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
The high-affinity glucose transport process in Saccharomyces cerevisiae whole cells was regulated by catabolite repression and inactivation. The low-affinity process was constitutive, and its activity was inhibited in proportion to the extent of derepression of the high-affinity process. The latter finding suggests that there is some regulatory relationship between the two processes.
متن کاملTransmembrane segments 1, 5, 7 and 8 are required for high-affinity glucose transport by Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hxt2 transporter.
Hxt2 is a high-affinity facilitative glucose transporter of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Hxt1 shares approximately 70% amino acid identity with Hxt2 in its transmembrane segments (TMs) and inter-TM loops, but transports D-glucose with an affinity about one-tenth of that of Hxt2. To determine which TMs of Hxt2 are important for high-affinity glucose ...
