The Metabolism of L - Fucose
The isomerization of L-fucose to L-fuculose was observed by Green and Cohen (2) in extracts obtained from Escherichia coli grown on L-fucose. With the same organism and similar conditions, Huang and Miller (3) suggested that such extracts catalyzed the phosphorylation of both L-fucose and L-fuculose to form the corresponding sugar l-phosphates. The present report describes the partial purificat...
متن کاملConstitutive activation of L-fucose genes by an unlinked mutation in Escherichia coli.
Wild-type Escherichia coli cannot grow on L-1,2-propanediol; mutants that can do so have increased basal activity of an NAD-linked L-1,2-propanediol oxidoreductase. This enzyme belongs to the L-fucose system and functions normally as L-lactaldehyde reductase during fermentation of the methylpentose. In wild-type cells, the activity of this enzyme is fully induced only anaerobically. Continued a...
متن کاملIsolation of diphosphopyridine nucleotide-dependent L-fucose dehydrogenase from pork liver.
A DPN+-dependent L-fucose dehydrogenase has been isolated from pork liver and purified over 300-fold by a combination of ammonium sulfate fractionation, diethylaminoethyl cellulose chromatography, gel filtration on Sephadex G-100, and preparative polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The pH optimum for the dehydrogenase was 8.7 and K,,, values were 2.0 x 10d5 M for DPN+ and 3.2 x 10m4 M for L-fuc...
متن کاملConstitutive activation of the fucAO operon and silencing of the divergently transcribed fucPIK operon by an IS5 element in Escherichia coli mutants selected for growth on L-1,2-propanediol.
L-1,2-Propanediol is an irretrievable end product of L-fucose fermentation by Escherichia coli. Selection for increased aerobic growth rate on propanediol results in the escalation of basal synthesis of the NAD+-linked oxidoreductase encoded by fucO, a member of the fuc regulon for the utilization of L-fucose. In general, when fucO becomes constitutively expressed, two other simultaneous change...
متن کاملCross-induction of the L-fucose system by L-rhamnose in Escherichia coli.
Dissimilation of L-fucose as a carbon and energy source by Escherichia coli involves a permease, an isomerase, a kinase, and an aldolase encoded by the fuc regulon at minute 60.2. Utilization of L-rhamnose involves a similar set of proteins encoded by the rha operon at minute 87.7. Both pathways lead to the formation of L-lactaldehyde and dihydroxyacetone phosphate. A common NAD-linked oxidored...
