Fructose transport in Bacillus subtilis.

P Gay, A Delobbe

    European Journal of Biochemistry
    |October 3, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Fructose transport in Bacillus subtilis is linked to its phosphorylation, primarily forming fructose 1-phosphate or fructose 6-phosphate. Multiple genes are involved in this crucial bacterial metabolic process.

    Area of Science:

    • Microbiology
    • Molecular Biology
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Fructose uptake and metabolism are vital for bacterial growth.
    • Understanding the genetic basis of fructose transport in Bacillus subtilis is essential for elucidating metabolic pathways.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between fructose transport and phosphorylation in Bacillus subtilis.
    • To identify genes involved in fructose transport and metabolism using mutant strains.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of Bacillus subtilis mutant strains lacking specific metabolic enzymes (fructokinase, phosphofructokinase, enzyme I of the phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system, fruA transport activity).
    • In vivo and in vitro biochemical assays to identify phosphorylated fructose intermediates.
    • Chromosomal mapping of mutations.

    Main Results:

    • Fructose transport is tightly coupled to phosphorylation into fructose 1-phosphate or fructose 6-phosphate.
    • Enzyme I of the phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system is critical for these phosphorylation steps.
    • FruA mutations impact fructose transport under catabolite repression.
    • More than two structural genes are implicated in fructose transport.

    Conclusions:

    • Fructose transport in Bacillus subtilis is intrinsically linked to its initial metabolic phosphorylation steps.
    • The phosphoenolpyruvate phosphotransferase system plays a key role in activating fructose metabolism.
    • The genetic regulation of fructose transport involves multiple genes and is influenced by environmental conditions like catabolite repression.
