Glucose and gluconate metabolism in a mutant of Escherichia coli lacking gluconate-6-phosphate dehydrase.
A mutant lacking gluconate-6-phosphate dehydrase (the first enzyme of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway) was isolated after ethyl methane sulfonate mutagenesis of Escherichia coli. Other enzymes of gluconate metabolism (gluconokinase, gluconate-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, and 2-keto-3-deoxygluconate-6-phosphate aldolase) were present in the mutant. When the mutant was grown on gluconate-1-(14)C, alan...
متن کاملThe subsidiary GntII system for gluconate metabolism in Escherichia coli: alternative induction of the gntV gene.
Two systems are involved in the transport and phosphorylation of gluconate in Escherichia coli. GntI, the main system, consists of high and low-affinity gluconate transporters and a thermoresistant gluconokinase for its phosphorylation. The corresponding genes, gntT, gntU and gntK at 76.5 min, are induced by gluconate. GntII, the subsidiary system, includes IdnT and GntV, which duplicate activi...
متن کاملRegulatory mutations affecting the gluconate system in Escherichia coli.
A spontaneously arising regulatory mutant of the gluconate system in Escherichia coli was isolated. This mutant became constitutive, probably in one step, for gluconate high-affinity transport, gluconokinase, and gluconate-6-P dehydrase. The mutation involved (gntR18) is cotransducible with asd. Pseudorevertants, derived from a mutant (M2) that shows a long lag for growth on gluconate mineral m...
متن کاملThe gntP gene of Escherichia coli involved in gluconate uptake.
The gntP gene, located between the fim and uxu loci in Escherichia coli K-12, has been cloned and characterized. Nucleotide sequencing of a region encompassing the gntP gene revealed an open reading frame of 447 codons with significant homology to the Bacillus subtilis gluconate permease. Northern (RNA) blotting indicated that the gntP gene was monocistronic and was transcribed as an mRNA with ...
متن کاملHexitol metabolism in Escherichia coli.
D-Sorbitol and dulcitol (galactitol), which, together with D-mannitol, are the three naturally occurring hexitols, have been known since the last quarter of the nineteenth century. Many fungi can utilize sorbitol for growth, but dulcitol is assimilated poorly by Aspergillus niger and a few yeasts. Among bacterial fermentations of these hexitols the best known are those by members of the Acetoba...
