چکیده

We examined the energy requirement for maltose transport in right-side-out membrane vesicles derived from Escherichia coli. When membrane vesicles were made from strains producing tethered maltose-binding proteins by dilution of spheroplasts into phosphate buffer, those from an F0F1 ATPase-containing (unc+) strain transported maltose in the presence of an exogenous electron donor, such as ascorbate/phenazine methosulfate, at a rate of 1-5 nmol/min per mg of protein, whereas those from an isogenic unc- strain failed to transport maltose. Transport in vesicles obtained from the latter strain could be restored in the presence of electron donors if the vesicles were made to contain NAD+ and either ATP or an ATP-regenerating system. ATP hydrolysis was apparently required for transport, since nonhydrolyzable ATP analogues did not sustain transport. Maltose transport significantly increased ATP hydrolysis in ATP-containing vesicles from unc- cells. Finally, ATP-containing vesicles from unc- strains producing normal maltose-binding proteins could accumulate maltose in the absence of electron donors. These results provide convincing evidence that it is the hydrolysis of ATP that drives maltose transport, and probably also other periplasmic-binding-protein-dependent transport systems.

Mechanism of maltose transport in Escherichia coli: transmembrane signaling by periplasmic binding proteins.

Maltose transport across the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli is dependent on the presence of a periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MBP), the product of the malE gene. The products of the malF, malG, and malK genes form a membrane-associated complex that catalyzes the hydrolysis of ATP to provide energy for the transport event. Previously, mutants were isolated that had gained the abil...

Trapping the transition state of an ATP-binding cassette transporter: evidence for a concerted mechanism of maltose transport.

High-affinity uptake into bacterial cells is mediated by a large class of periplasmic binding protein-dependent transport systems, members of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily. In the maltose transport system of Escherichia coli, the periplasmic maltose-binding protein binds its substrate maltose with high affinity and, in addition, stimulates the ATPase activity of the membrane-associated t...

Vanadate-induced trapping of nucleotides by purified maltose transport complex requires ATP hydrolysis.

The maltose transport system in Escherichia coli is a member of the ATP-binding cassette superfamily of transporters that is defined by the presence of two nucleotide-binding domains or subunits and two transmembrane regions. The bacterial import systems are unique in that they require a periplasmic substrate-binding protein to stimulate the ATPase activity of the transport complex and initiate...

Immunogenicity of enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli outer membrane vesicles encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles

Objective(s): Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is an important cause of diarrheal disease in humans, particularly in children under 5 years and travelers in developing countries. To our knowledge, no vaccine is licensed yet to protect against ETEC infection. Like many Gram-negative pathogens, ETEC can secrete outer membrane vesicles (OMVs). These structures contain various immunogenic vi...

Energy transduction in Escherichia coli. The role of the Mg2+ATPase.

Inverted membrane vesicles from strain 7, a wild type Escherichia coli K12 strain, actively transport calcium with energy supplied either by respiration or by ATP. These vesicles also have energy-linked quenching of quinacrine fluorescence. Membranes of strain 7, depleted of Mg2+ATPase by EDTA treatment, lack both activities. Membrane vesicles from strain NR70, a mutant lacking the Mg2+ATPase, ...
