Genetic analysis of Escherichia coli mutants defective in adenylate kinase and sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase.

چکیده
Complementation analysis with independently isolated plA and adk (adenylate kinase) mutants of Escherichia coli showed that all the mutants belong to the same complementation group. The results suggest that the adk (plsA) locus is the structural gene for adenylate kinase.

Specific inhibition of phospholipid synthesis in plsA mutants of Escherichia coli.
plsA mutants of Escherichia coli are temperature-sensitive strains which possess two enzymes of abnormal thermolability, sn-glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase and adenylate kinase. Phospholipid synthesis is inhibited after shift of plsA mutants to temperatures at the lower end of the nonpermissive temperature range. This inhibition is not due to inactivation of the adenylate kinase activity s...
متن کاملCharacterization of Escherichia coli cells deficient in 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3- phosphate acyltransferase activity.
A mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 defective in 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase has been isolated. At the permissive temperature for growth, 30 degrees C, 20% of the total cellular glycerophospholipids is 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate, as identified by mass spectral analysis and proton NMR. This percentage of 1-acyl-sn-glycerol-3-phosphate rises to about 30% when the temperature ...
متن کاملGlpD and PlsB participate in persister cell formation in Escherichia coli.
Bacterial populations produce dormant persister cells that are resistant to killing by all antibiotics currently in use, a phenomenon known as multidrug tolerance (MDT). Persisters are phenotypic variants of the wild type and are largely responsible for MDT of biofilms and stationary populations. We recently showed that a hipBA toxin/antitoxin locus is part of the MDT mechanism in Escherichia c...
متن کاملA gene (plsD) from Clostridium butyricum that functionally substitutes for the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase gene (plsB) of Escherichia coli.
The sn-glycerol-3-phosphate acyltransferase (plsB) of Escherichia coli is a key regulatory enzyme that catalyzes the first committed step in phospholipid biosynthesis. We report the initial characterization of a novel gene (termed plsD) from Clostridium butyricum, cloned based on its ability to complement the sn-glycerol-3-phosphate auxotrophic phenotype of a plsB mutant strain of E. coli. Unli...
متن کاملsn-Glycerol-3-phosphate transport in Salmonella typhimurium.
Salmonella typhimurium contains a transport system for sn-glycerol-3-phosphate that is inducible by growth on glycerol and sn-glycerol-3-phosphate. In fully induced cells, the system exhibited an apparent Km of 50 microM and a Vmax of 2.2 nmol/min . 10(8) cells. The corresponding system in Escherichia coli exhibits, under comparable conditions, a Km of 14 microM and a Vmax of 2.2 nmol/min . 10(...
