The uptake of 2-ketogluconate is inducible in Pseudomonas putida: 2-ketogluconate, glucose, gluconate, glycerol and glycerate were each good nutritional inducers of this ability. 2-Ketogluconate uptake obeyed saturation kinetics (apparent K
min 2-ketogluconate-grown cells was 0.4 mM). 2-Ketogluconate was transported against a concentration gradient, apparently in an unchanged state, and the process required metabolic energy, all of which indicate an active transport system.A number of independently isolated mutants with deranged activity of a common glucose-gluconate uptake system were found to be also defective in 2-ketogluconate transport. Strains unable to transport 2-ketogluconate which grew readily on glucose and gluconate were also isolated. These results suggest that 2-ketogluconate transport is governed by at least two genetic elements: one which is also required to take up glucose and gluconate and another which appears to be specific for 2-ketogluconate transport. Similarly glucose and gluconate transport appears to require at least one factor which is not necessary for 2-ketogluconate transport, as suggested by the lack of induction of the common glucose-gluconate uptake system by glycerol and glycerate, substrates which are good inducers of 2-ketogluconate uptake.Abbreviations CCCP

Fructose transport in lactococci is mediated by two phosphotransferase systems (PTS). The constitutive mannose PTS has a broad specificity and may be used for uptake of fructose with a fructose saturation constant (KFru) of 0.89 mM, giving intracellular fructose 6-phosphate. The inducible fructose PTS has a very small saturation constant (KFru, <17 μM), and the fructose 1-phosphate produced enters the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway as fructose 1,6-diphosphate. Growth in batch cultures of Lactococcus lactis subsp. cremoris FD1 in a yeast extract medium with fructose as the only sugar is poor both with respect to specific growth rate and biomass yield, whereas the specific lactic acid production rate is higher than those in similar fermentations on other sugars metabolized via the EMP pathway, e.g., glucose. In fructose-limited chemostat cultures, the biomass concentration exhibits a strong correlation with the dilution rate, and starting a continuous culture at the end of a batch fermentation leads to large and persistent oscillations in the biomass concentration and specific lactic acid production rate. Two proposed mechanisms underlying this strange growth pattern follow. (i) Fructose transported via the fructose PTS cannot be converted into essential biomass precursors (glucose 6-phosphate or fructose 6-phosphate), because L. lactis subsp. cremoris FD1 is devoid of fructose 1,6-diphosphatase activity. (ii) The fructose PTS apparently produces a metabolite (presumably fructose 1-phosphate) which exerts catabolite repression of both mannose PTS and lactose PTS. Since the repressed mannose PTS and lactose PTS are shown to have identical maximum molar transport rates, the results indicate that it is the general PTS proteins which are repressed. 相似文献

Fructose is toxic for Synechocystis PCC 6714 and 6803, strains which grow chemoheterotrophically on glucose. This toxicity, as well as fructose uptake, were inhibited by glucose or by its non-metabolized analogue 3-O-methyl-glucose. The results suggested that both sugars were transported by the same permeation system, the affinity for fructose, estimated from the corresponding K
m and K
i, being very low. The unicity of the permeation system was further established by the isolation of spontaneous mutants showing the expected pleiotropic phenotype, Glu–, Frur, transport–, and by the simultaneous re-acquisition of the relevant wild type characteristics in mutant cells transformed by wild type DNA. The genetic nature of this mutation is discussed in view of the impossibility to isolate spontaneously reversed wild type clones from the transport deficient mutants.Abbreviations OMG

Clostridium beijerinckii 《Anaerobe》1996,2(6):379-384
The clostridia are a diverse group of obligately anaerobic bacteria with potential for the fermentative production of fuels, solvents and other chemicals. Several species exhibit a broad substrate range, but there have been few studies of the mechanisms involved in regulation of uptake and metabolism of fermentable carbohydrates.Clostridium beijerinckii(formerlyClostridium acetobutylicum) NCIMB 8052 exhibited transport activity for hexoses and hexitols. Glucose-grown cells transported glucose and fructose, but not galactose, glucitol (sorbitol) or mannitol, transport of which was induced by growth on the respective substrates. Phosphorylation of glucose, fructose, glucitol and mannitol by cell extracts was supported by phosphoenolpyruvate, indicating the involvement of a phosphotransferase system in uptake of these substrates. Fructose phosphorylation was also demonstrated by isolated membranes in the presence of fructose 1-phosphate, thus identifying this derivative as the product of the fructose phosphotransferase system. The presence of phosphotransferase activities in extracts prepared from cells grown on different carbon sources correlated with transport activities in whole cells, and the pattern of transport activities reflected the substrate preference of cells growing in the presence of glucose and another carbon source. Thus, glucose and fructose were co-metabolised, while utilization of glucitol was prevented by glucose, even in cells which were previously induced for glucitol metabolism. Of the substrates examined, only galactose appeared to be transported by a non-phosphotransferase mechanism, since a significant rate of phosphorylation of this sugar was supported by ATP rather than phosphoenolpyruvate. 相似文献

Fructose was bactericidal for the cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. strain PCC 6803. Each of ten independently isolated fructose-resistant mutants had an alteration of the glucose transport system, measured as uptake of glucose or of 3-O-methyl-D-glucose. In the presence of the analog, the wild-type Synechocystis strain was protected against fructose. Two mutants altered in photoautotrophy were also isolated. 相似文献

Zygosaccharomyces rouxii is a fructophilic yeast that consumes fructose preferably to glucose. This behavior seems to be related to sugar uptake. In this study, we constructed Z. rouxii single-, double-, and triple-deletion mutants in the UL4 strain background (a ura3 strain derived from CBS 732T) by deleting the genes encoding the specific fructose facilitator Z. rouxii Ffz1 (ZrFfz1), the fructose/glucose facilitator ZrFfz2, and/or the fructose symporter ZrFsy1. We analyzed the effects on the growth phenotype, on kinetic parameters of fructose and glucose uptake, and on sugar consumption profiles. No growth phenotype was observed on fructose or glucose upon deletion of FFZ genes. Deletion of ZrFFZ1 drastically reduced fructose transport capacity, increased glucose transport capacity, and eliminated the fructophilic character, while deletion of ZrFFZ2 had almost no effect. The strain in which both FFZ genes were deleted presented even higher consumption of glucose than strain Zrffz1Δ, probably due to a reduced repressing effect of fructose. This study confirms the molecular basis of the Z. rouxii fructophilic character, demonstrating that ZrFfz1 is essential for Z. rouxii fructophilic behavior. The gene is a good candidate to improve the fructose fermentation performance of industrial Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains. 相似文献

Utilization of gluconate by Escherichia coli. Induction of gluconate kinase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase activities 总被引:2,自引:2,他引:0
1. A mutant of Escherichia coli, devoid of phosphopyruvate synthetase, glucosephosphate isomerase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase activities, grew readily on gluconate and inducibly formed an uptake system for gluconate, gluconate kinase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase while doing so. 2. This mutant also grew on glucose 6-phosphate and inducibly formed 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase; however, the formation of the gluconate uptake system and gluconate kinase was not induced under these conditions. 3. The use of the Entner–Doudoroff pathway for the dissimilation of 6-phosphogluconate, derived from either gluconate or glucose 6-phosphate, by this mutant was also demonstrated by the accumulation of 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate (3-deoxy-6-phospho-l-glycero-2-hexulosonate) from both these substrates in a similar mutant that also lacked phospho-2-keto-3-deoxygluconate aldolase activity. 4. Glucose 6-phosphate inhibits the continued utilization of fructose by cultures of the mutants growing on fructose, as it does in wild-type E. coli. 5. The mutants do not use glucose for growth. This is shown to be due to insufficiency of phosphopyruvate, which is required for glucose uptake. 相似文献

Maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm suspension cultures are a useful model system for studying biochemical and physiological events in developing maize endosperm. In this report, sugar uptake by the cultures is characterized. Uptake of 14C-labeled fructose and l-glucose was linear with time, while the rate of uptake of radioactivity from sucrose increased over a 120 min period. Both saturable and linear components of uptake were observed for fructose, glucose, sucrose, 1′-deoxy-1′-fluorosucrose, and maltose. Uptake of mannitol, sorbitol, and l-glucose took place at lower rates and was linear with concentration. Rates of incorporation of radioactivity from fructose and glucose exceeded that of sucrose at all concentrations tested. Kinetics of 1′-deoxy-1′-fluorosucrose uptake indicated that 14C from sucrose can be taken up by a saturable carrier of intact sucrose as well as by invertase hydrolysis and subsequent uptake of hexoses. Cell wall invertase was demonstrated histochemically. Further study of fructose uptake at a concentration at which the saturable component predominated revealed sensitivity to metabolic inhibitors, respiratory uncouplers, the nonpermeant sulfhydryl reagent p-chloromercuribenzenesulfonic acid, and nigericin. Uptake was not affected by valinomycin plus K+ and was stimulated by fusicoccin. Fructose and glucose uptake was not pH-sensitive below pH 7.0, whereas uptake of radioactivity from sucrose and 1′-deoxy-1′-fluorosucrose declined as the pH was increased above 5.0. Fructose uptake was not completely inhibited by glucose and vice versa, suggesting the presence of specific carriers. These results indicate that maize endosperm suspension cultures (a) absorb fructose via a typical, energy-requiring, carrier-mediated proton cotransport system; (b) possess saturable carriers for glucose and sucrose; and (c) also absorb sucrose via hexose uptake after sucrose hydrolysis by extracellular invertase. 相似文献

Zygosaccharomyces bailii possesses a constitutive malic enzyme, but only small amounts of malate are decomposed when the cells ferment fructose. Cells growing anaerobically on glucose (glucose cells) decompose malate, whereas fructose cells do not. Only glucose cells show an increase in the intracellular concentration of malate when suspended in a malate-containing solution. The transport system for malate is induced by glucose, but it is repressed by fructose. The synthesis of this transport system is inhibited by cycloheximide. Of the two enantiomers l-malate is transported preferentially. The transport of malate by induced cells is not only inhibited by addition of fructose but also inactivated. This inactivation is independent of the presence of cycloheximide. The transport of malate is inhibited by uranyl ions; various other inhibitors of transport and phosphorylation were of little influence. It is assumed that the inducible protein carrier for malate operates by facilitated diffusion. Fructose cells of Z. bailii and cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae do not contain a transport system for malate.This research was supported in part by a grant from the Forschungsring des Deutschen Weinbaus. 相似文献

Sucrose synthase (EC 2.4.1.13) was purified to homogeneity from developing maize (Zea mays L.) endosperm. Substrate saturation and inhibitor kinetics were examined for the sucrose synthase reaction. The Km-values for fructose and uridine diphosphate glucose (UDPGlc) were estimated to be 7.8 mM and 76 μM, respectively. Fructose concentrations over 20 mM inhibited sucrose synthase in an uncompetitive manner with respect to UDPGlc. Glucose was also found to be an uncompetitive inhibitor with respect to both fructose and UDPGlc. At inhibitory concentrations of fructose, the apparent Ki for glucose increased linearly with increasing fructose concentration. The results suggest an ordered kinetic mechanism for sucrose synthase where UDPGlc binds first and UDP dissociates last. Fructose and glucose both inhibit by binding to the enzyme-UDP complex. Fructose and glucose, which are present in maize endosperm as the products of invertase, could inhibit sucrose synthase, especially in basal regions of the kernel where hexosesmay accumulate. 相似文献

Van Den Bossche H. and De Nollin S. 1973. Effects of mebendazole on the absorption of low molecular weight nutrients by Ascaris suum. International Journal for Parasitology3: 401–407. The effect of the anthelmintic drug, mebendazole, on the uptake and/or transport of glucose, fructose, 3-O-methylglucose, glycine, proline, methionine and palmitic acid was studied on in vitro incubated Ascaris suum. The experiments presented indicate that mebendazole inhibits the uptake and/or transport of glucose by A. suum. This inhibition is followed by a marked decrease in the glycogen content of the ascaris muscle. The addition of glucose to the incubation medium significantly enhanced the rate of uptake and/or transport of 3-O-methylglueose, glycine, methionine, proline and palmitic acid indicating that the absorption mechanisms depend on energy.Therefore, the inhibitory effect of mebendazole on the glucose uptake also results in a decreased uptake of 3-O-methylglucose and of the amino acids and fatty acid studied. The fructose uptake was not affected by the addition of glucose.Although mebendazole decreased the uptake of the hexoses and of the amino acids whether or not glucose was added, the uptake of palmitic acid was not affected when glucose was omitted from the medium. Mebendazole failed to exhibit an effect on the uptake, transport and/or utilization of glucose in rat. 相似文献

Two mutants defective in succinate utilization were isolated by NTG mutagenesis of the effective wild typeRhizobium meliloti strain S14. The mutants used carbon sources in a fashion similar to strain S14, but they were not able to grow on succinate, fumarate or malate. The mutants nodulated alfalfa plants but did not exhibit
any nitrogenase activity. The mutants oxidized glucose and fructose, but were not able to oxidize organic acids. Cultured
free-living bacteria of strain S14 appeared to have an inducible C4-dicarboxylic acid uptake system and a constitutive glucose uptake system. When S14 cells were grown on glucose in the presence of 5mM or more succinate or malate, the rate of glucose-dependent O2 consumption significantly decreased suggesting the presence of a catabolite repression like phenomenom.

Summary Fructose utilization in laboratory-scale sucrose adjunct brewers wort fermentations, using the brewing strainS. cerevisiae IGC 4261, is predicted by a mathematical model based on the kinetic parameters of the membrane transport proteins which affect fructose uptake into the cell. These include biphasic fructose transport via a proton symport and the constitutive hexose facilitated diffusion system, plus the competitive inhibitory effect that glucose has on this latter component. Also the non-competitive inhibitory effects of a) maltose on fructose uptake via its proton symport and b) ethanol on biphasic fructose transport are incorporated within the model, as well as the inoculum size. 相似文献

A wild-type strain, Sp972 h−, of Schizosaccharomyces pombe was mutagenized with ethylmethanesulfonate (EMS), and 2-deoxyglucose (2-DOG)-resistant mutants were isolated. Out of 300 independent 2-DOG-resistant mutants, 2 failed to grow on glucose and fructose (mutants 3/8 and 3/23); however, their hexokinase activity was normal. They have been characterized as defective in their sugar transport properties, and the mutations have been designated as std1-8 and std1-23 (sugar transport defective). The mutations are allelic and segregate as part of a single gene when the mutants carrying them are crossed to a wild-type strain. We confirmed the transport deficiency of these mutants by [14C]glucose uptake. They also fail to grow on other monosaccharides, such as fructose, mannose, and xylulose, as well as disaccharides, such as sucrose and maltose, unlike the wild-type strain. Lack of growth of the glucose transport-deficient mutants on maltose revealed the extracellular breakdown of maltose in S. pombe, unlike in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Both of the mutants are unable to grow on low concentrations of glucose (10 to 20 mM), while one of them, 3/23, grows on high concentrations (50 to 100 mM) as if altered in its affinity for glucose. This mutant (3/23) shows a lag period of 12 to 18 h when grown on high concentrations of glucose. The lag disappears when the culture is transferred from the log phase of its growth on high concentrations. These mutants complement phenotypically similar sugar transport mutants (YGS4 and YGS5) reported earlier by Milbradt and Hoefer (Microbiology 140:2617–2623, 1994), and the clone complementing YGS4 and YGS5 was identified as the only glucose transporter in fission yeast having 12 transmembrane domains. These mutants also demonstrate two other defects: lack of induction and repression of shunt pathway enzymes and defective mating. 相似文献

The uptake of 14C-fructose by T. crassiceps larvae was linear with respect to concentration. Uptake of 0.05 mM14C-fructose was not inhibited by 5.0 mM unlabeled fructose, tagatose, or sorbose. Fructose appears to enter larvae by diffusion only. The uptake of radioglucose and radiogalactose was not linear with respect to concentration at low substrate concentrations; at high substrate concentrations, the uptake of both hexoses was linear with respect to concentration. Inhibitor studies indicated that both glucose and galactose enter larvae by a combination of diffusion and a mediated process, and that these hexoses are mutually competitive inhibitors of one another. The uptake of glucose and galactose was also inhibited by α-and β-methyl glucoside, fucose, and phlorizin, but not by several amino acids, certain sugar analogs, nor ouabain. Glucose transport is Na+ sensitive; K+ was demonstrated to be a competitive inhibitor of Na+ activation of glucose uptake. After a 90-min incubation in 5 mM unlabeled glucose, larvae accumulated glucose against an apparent concentration difference. Although larvae appear freely permeable to ouabain, this compound had no apparent effect on glucose accumulation. The results of this study are compared with previous studies on Hymenolepis diminuta, Calliobothrium verticillatum, Hydatigera (Taenia) taeniaeformis, and mammalian systems. 相似文献

Zymomonas mobilis is known to transport glucose by a facilitated diffusion process. A putative glucose facilitator gene (glf), closely related to a large family of glucose transporters, is located in a cluster of genes that code for enzymes of glucose metabolism. The Z. mobilis glf gene is able to complement glucose transport in an Escherichia coli strain that is defective in native glucose transport and glucokinase. In this study, the recombinant E coli was shown to be capable of influx counterflow when preloaded with glucose and had an apparent Km for glucose of approximately 1.1 - 2.9 mM, consistent with the function of Gif as a low-affinity glucose facilitator. The ability of glucokinase mutants expressing glf to transport glucose made it clear that glucokinase activity was not required for Glf-dependent glucose transport. The possibility that glucokinase can interact with Glf to improve the affinity for glucose was not supported since expression of the Z mobilis glucokinase gene, in addition to glf, did not affect the Km of Glf for glucose in recombinant E. coli The inability of various sugars to compete with glucose during glucose transport by recombinant E. coli expressing glf indicated that Glf is specific for glucose. While the results of fructose transport assays did not completely rule out the possibility of very low affinity for fructose, the apparent specificity of Gif for glucose makes it possible that Z. mobilis utilizes a different transporter(s) for fructose. 相似文献

Transport of succinate by Pseudomonas putida 总被引:9,自引:0,他引:9
Induced succinate uptake and transport (defined as transport of a compound followed by its metabolism and transport in the absence of subsequent metabolism) by Pseudomonas putida are active processes resulting in intracellular succinate concentrations 10-fold that of the initial extracellular concentration. Uptake was studied with the wild-type strain P. putida P2 and transport with a mutant deficient in succinate dehydrogenase activity. Addition of succinate, fumarate, or malate to the growth medium induces both processes above a basal level. Induction is dependent on protein synthesis and subject to catabolite repression. When extracts of induced and noninduced wild-type cells were assayed for succinate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and malate dehydrogenase only malate dehydrogenase increased in specific activity. Transport is inhibited by iodoacetamide, KCN, NaN3, and 2,4-dinitrophenol and shows pH and temperature optima of 6.2 and 30 °C. Kinetic parameters are: basal uptake (cells grown on glutamate) Km 11.6 μm, v 0.32 nmoles per min per mg dry cell mass; induced uptake (cells grown on succinate plus NH4Cl) Km 12.5 μm, v 5.78 nmoles per min per mg dry cell mass; induced transport (cells grown on nutrient broth plus succinate) Km 10 μm, V 0.98 nmoles per min per mg dry cell mass. It was not possible to determine the kinetic parameters of basal transport. Malate and fumarate were the only compounds exhibiting competitive inhibition of uptake and transport suggesting common transport system for all three compounds. The Ki values for competitive inhibition and the Km for succinate indicate the order of affinity for both uptake and transport are succinate > malate > fumarate. Data from kinetic parameters of uptake and transport and studies on succinate metabolism provide evidence consistent with concurrent increases in transport and metabolism to account for induced succinate uptake by P. putida. 相似文献

Summary Fructose was shown to be phosphorylated by a specific phosphoenolpyruvatc-dependent phosphotransferase system (PTS) in Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris. Transposon mutagenesis of X. campestris was performed and two mutants affected in growth on fructose were isolated. Both mutants were deficient in PTS activity. Comparison of the rate of uptake and phosphorylation of fructose in the wild-type and in the mutant strains revealed the presence of a second fructose permeation and phosphorylation pathway in this bacterium: an unidentified permease coupled to an ATP-dependent fructokinase. One of the two mutants was also deficient in fructokinase activity. Chromosomal DNA fragments containing the regions flanking the transposon insertion site were cloned from both mutant strains. Their physical study revealed that the insertion sites were separated by 1.4 kb, allowing the reconstruction of a wild-type DNA fragment which complemented one of the two mutants. The region flanking the transposon insertion site was sequenced in one of the mutants, showing that the transposon had interrupted the gene encoding the fructose Ell. The mutant strains also failed to utilize mannose, sucrose and mannitol, suggesting the existence of a branch point between the metabolism of fructose and of these latter carbohydrates. 相似文献

A specific fructose uptake system (Km = 0.4 mM) appeared in Neurospora crassa when glucose-grown mycelia were starved. Fructose uptake had kinetics different from those of intramycelial fructose phosphorylation, and uptake appeared to be carrier mediated. The only sugar which competitively inhibited fructose uptake was L-sorbose (Ki = 9 mM). Glucose, 2-deoxyglucose, mannose, and 3-O-methyl glucose were noncompetitive inhibitors of fructose uptake. Incubation of glucose-grown mycelia with glucose, 2-deoxyglucose, or mannose prevented derepression of the fructose transport system, whereas incubation with 3-O-methyl glucose caused the appearance of five times as much fructose uptake activity as did starvation conditions. 相似文献

SYNOPSIS Some carbohydrates inhibited glucose and fructose transport in Trypanosoma gambiense. Glucose transport was inhibited by glycerol, mannose, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine. Fructose transport was inhibited by glucose, glycerol, mannose, glucosamine and N-acetylglucosamine. Glucosamine transport appeared to be a mediated process and had a Km of 1.20 mM and a Vmax of 28.5 μM glucosamine/g dry wt/2 min. Glucosamine absorption was competitively inhibited by glucose, fructose and N-acetylglycosamine. N-Acetylglucosamine appeared to enter by passive diffusion. Reciprocal inhibition experiments suggested that glucosamine entered entirely via the “fructose site.” Specificity of sugar transport in T. gambiense differs from that of other organisms. 相似文献
