In order to relate the biogenesis of the lactose transport system to lipid synthesis, a glycerol-requiring mutant of Escherichia coli K-12 with a specific defect in l-glycerol-3-phosphate synthesis was isolated and characterized. The defective enzyme is the biosynthetic l-glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase [l-glycerol-3-phosphate: NAD (P) oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.8] which functions as a dihydroxyacetone phosphate reductase to provide l-glycerol-3-phosphate for lipid synthesis. In this mutant, removal of glycerol from the growth medium results in inhibition of the synthesis of protein, deoxyribonucleic acid, and phospholipid. Inhibition of phospholipid synthesis immediately follows glycerol removal, whereas the inhibition of deoxyribonucleic acid and protein synthesis is preceded by a short lag period. Glycerol starvation does not change the turnover pattern of previously synthesized phospholipids. The blocking of lipid synthesis by glycerol starvation causes a drastic decrease in inducibility of beta-galactoside transport activity relative to beta-galactosidase, indicating that induction of lactose transport requires de novo lipid synthesis. 相似文献

Citrate transport can be induced in a glycerol-requiring mutant of Bacillus subtilis even after deprival of glycerol. Under these conditions de novo phospholipid synthesis is stopped although ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, and protein syntheses continue. It is concluded that the inducibility of bacterial transport systems must not necessarily require de novo phospholipid synthesis. 相似文献

Analysis of the effects on membrane function and protein composition of altering phospholipid synthesis in Caulobacter crescentus showed that, like other bacteria, C. crescentus continues to induce a lactose transport system and to synthesize most membrane proteins. However, we show that the incorporation of a set of outer membrane proteins primarily synthesized in stalked cells is dependent on DNA replication which, in turn, is dependent on membrane phospholipid synthesis. Furthermore, the incorporation of another set of membrane proteins, two of which are synthesized primarily in the swarmer cell, appears to be independent of the replication of the chromosome but to be directly dependent on phospholipid synthesis. We have also found that when phospholipid synthesis is blocked, the synthesis of the flagellar proteins is inhibited and that this effect may be mediated by the primary inhibition of DNA replication. Newton has presented evidence that the synthesis of flagellar proteins is dependent on specific execution points in DNA replication and that this connection serves as a temporal regulator of differential protein synthesis (Osley et al., 1977; Sheffery & Newton, 1981). We suggest here that a direct link between the replicating chromosome and the growing membrane might serve, in turn, to dictate the site of membrane assembly of newly synthesized gene products. 相似文献

We have determined that lactose uptake in Kluyveromyces lactis is mediated by an inducible transport system. Induction, elicited by lactose or galactose, of the transporter required protein synthesis. Transport of lactose required an energy-generating system and occurred by an active process, since an intracellular lactose concentration 175 times greater than the extracellular concentration could be obtained. The Km for lactose transport was about 2.8 mM in uninduced and lactose- or galactose-induced cells. The lactose transporters in K. lactis and Escherichia coli appear to be different since they respond uniquely to inhibition by substrate analogs. 相似文献

To address the role of phospholipids in the topological organization of polytopic membrane proteins, the function and assembly of lactose permease (LacY) was studied in mutants of Escherichia coli lacking phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). PE is required for the proper conformation and active transport function of LacY. The N-terminal half of LacY assembled in PE-lacking cells adopts an inverted topology in which normally non-translocated domains are translocated and vice versa. Post-assembly synthesis of PE triggers a conformational change, resulting in a lipid-dependent recovery of normal conformation and topology of at least one LacY subdomain accompanied by restoration of active transport. These results demonstrate that membrane protein topology once attained can be changed in a reversible manner in response to alterations in phospholipid composition, and may be subject to post-assembly proofreading to correct misfolded structures. 相似文献

Fast measurement of galactoside transport by lactose permease 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Lactose permease of Escherichia coli was reconstituted into vesicles of dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine, and the rate of galactoside counterflow was measured in the millisecond time range. The turnover number and the half-saturation constant for transport agree with the values known for cells. This result demonstrates that lactose permease is the sole protein necessary for galactoside transport. Furthermore, lactose permease seems not to require a high level of negatively charged lipids or a certain degree of unsaturation of the lipid hydrocarbon chains. However, the lipids must be in the fluid state, because the transport rate drastically decreases below the lipid ordered fluid phase transition. 相似文献

Several carbohydrate permease systems in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli are sensitive to regulation by the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system. Mutant Salmonella strains were isolated in which individual transport systems had been rendered insensitive to regulation by sugar substrates of the phosphotransferase system. In one such strain, glycerol uptake was insensitive to regulation; in another, the maltose transport system was resistant to inhibition; and in a third, the regulatory mutation specifically rendered the melibiose permease insensitive to regulation. An analogous mutation in E. coli abolished inhibition of the transport of beta-galactosides via the lactose permease system. The mutations were mapped near the genes which code for the affected transport proteins. The regulatory mutations rendered utilization of the particular carbohydrates resistant to inhibition and synthesis of the corresponding catabolic enzymes partially insensitive to repressive control by sugar substrates of the phosphotransferase system. Studies of repression of beta-galactosidase synthesis in E. coli were conducted with both lactose and isopropyl beta-thiogalactoside as exogenous sources of inducer. Employing high concentrations of isopropyl beta-thiogalactoside, repression of beta-galactosidase synthesis was not altered by the lactose-specific transport regulation-resistant mutation. By contrast, the more severe repression observed with lactose as the exogenous source of inducer was partially abolished by this regulatory mutation. The results support the conclusions that several transport systems, including the lactose permease system, are subject to allosteric regulation and that inhibition of inducer uptake is a primary cause of the repression of catabolic enzyme synthesis. 相似文献

- 1.1. Iodoacetate, 2,4-dinitrophenol, cyanide and cycloheximide inhibited protein secretion as well as synthesis by acini (alveoli) from rat mammary gland. Cytochalasin B and vinblastine inhibited protein secretion and marginally reduced protein synthesis. Colchicine was without effect on protein synthesis but inhibited secretion.
- 2.2. Intracellular protein transport was altered during incubation with metabolic and cytoskeletal inhibitors. Cycloheximide, iodoacetate. 2,4-dinitrophenol and Cytochalasin B appeared to block protein synthesis on polysomes of rough endoplasmic reticulum. Vinblastine inhibited protein transport from rough endoplasmic reticulum to Golgi apparatus and colchicine appeared to cause accumulation of protein in several endomembrane fractions.
- 3.3. Iodoacetate reduced acinar lactose content but was without effect on lactose synthetase activity. Cyanide, cycloheximide and vinblastine reduced lactose synthetase activity but not tissue lactose concentration. Cytochalasin B reduced glucose incorporation but was without effect on lactose content and lactose synthetase activity. Colchicine and 2,4-dinitrophenol did not alter glucose incorporation, lactose content or lactose synthetase activity. Lactose secretion was inhibited by all metabolic and cytoskeletal inhibitors examined.
- 4.4. Results indicated that sustained protein secretion depended on continued protein synthesis and that lactose secretion was coupled to protein secretion.

Lactobacillus plantarum ATCC 8014 grew on melibiose at 30 C, but not at 37 C, although it grew on galactose or lactose at either temperature. ATCC 8014 grown on lactose at 30 or 37 C accumulated melibiose slowly, suggesting that melibiose may partly be transported by a lactose transport system. A lactose-negative mutant, NTG 21, derived from ATCC 8014 was isolated. The mutant was totally deficient in lactose transport, but retained normal melibiose transport activity. In NTG 21, the melibiose transport activity was induced by melibiose at 30 C, but not at 37 C. The transport activity itself was found to be stable for at least 3 hr at 37 C, suggesting that the induction process in the cytoplasm rather than the inducer entrance is temperature-sensitive in the organism. The organism also failed to form alpha-galactosidase at 37 C when grown on melibiose. The enzyme synthesis, however, was induced by galactose in NTG 21 (and also by lactose in ATCC 8014) even at 37 C, indicating that the induction of the enzyme is essentially not temperature-sensitive. In NTG 21, melibiose transport system and alpha-galactosidase were induced by galactose, melibiose and o-nitrophenyl-alpha-D-galactopyranoside when the strain was grown at 30 C. Raffinose induced melibiose transport system only a little, while it was a good inducer for alpha-galactosidase. Inhibition studies revealed that galactose may be a weak substrate of the melibiose transport system; no inhibition was demonstrated with lactose and raffinose. 相似文献

The role of the (Na+, K+)-ATPase system in lactose production by the lactating guinea pig mammary gland has been studied in vitro with slices of the gland. In this system there is an initial fast lactose release, mainly representing secretion of preformed lactose, followed by a continuous slow lactose release, representing mainly lactose synthesis. The latter process occurs at a rate of 1.6 to 2.4 g lactose/kg wet wr/h, which value is about half of the lactose production in vivo (3.9 g/kg set wt/h). Incubation of slices in the presence of 10-4 M ouabain does not influence the rate of overall lactose production. When determined separately, it does not change either the rate of secretion or that of synthesis. This pleads against a role of the (Na+, K+)-ATPase system in lactose secretion or synthesis, in particular it seems to rule out control of the rates of these processes by the intracellular potassium concentration. An explanation for the generally observed correlation between the lactose and potassium concentrations in milk, may be that both the maintenance of the intracellular potassium concentration and the lactose synthesis rate require the presence of ATP. 相似文献

Once inserted, transmembrane segments of polytopic membrane proteins are generally considered stably oriented due to the large free energy barrier to topological reorientation of adjacent extramembrane domains. However, the topology and function of the polytopic membrane protein lactose permease of Escherichia coli are dependent on the membrane phospholipid composition, revealing topological dynamics of transmembrane domains after stable membrane insertion (Bogdanov, M., Heacock, P. N., and Dowhan, W. (2002) EMBO J. 21, 2107-2116). In this study, we show that the high affinity phenylalanine permease PheP shares many similarities with lactose permease. PheP assembled in a mutant of E. coli lacking phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) exhibited significantly reduced active transport function and a complete inversion in topological orientation of the N terminus and adjoining transmembrane hairpin loop compared with PheP in a PE-containing strain. Introduction of PE following the assembly of PheP triggered a reorientation of the N terminus and adjacent hairpin to their native orientation associated with regain of wild-type transport function. The reversible orientation of these secondary transport proteins in response to a change in phospholipid composition might be a result of inherent conformational flexibility necessary for transport function or during protein assembly. 相似文献

Maltose and lactose transport systems have been used to investigate the action of procaine on insertion and activity of membrane proteins and translocation of exported proteins in Escherichia coli. Procaine mildly inhibited growth on lactose. The level of inhibition was consistent with the small reduction observed in active and facilitated transport functions of the lac permease. However, procaine caused a severe reduction of growth rate on maltose, as well as an inhibition of induction of maltose regulon activities. In both constitutive and inducible strains, the synthesis of both maltose transport activity (malB operon) and amylomaltase activity (malA operon) was inhibited. Coordinate inhibition of soluble and membrane products was not observed with the lac operon. beta-Galactosidase synthesis proceeded normally during growth on procaine, whereas, the appearance of new transport activity was reduced. Regardless of carbon source, procaine specifically inhibited the appearance of ompF protein in the membrane fraction. 相似文献

The penicillin tolerance of amino acid-deprived relA+ Escherichia coli is attributed to the stringent response; i.e., relaxation of the stringent response suppresses penicillin tolerance. The beta-lactam-induced lysis of amino acid-deprived bacteria resulting from relaxation of the stringent response was inhibited by cerulenin, or by glycerol deprivation in the case of a gpsA mutant (defective in the biosynthetic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase). Therefore, beta-lactam-induced lysis of amino acid-deprived cells was dependent on phospholipid synthesis. The lysis process during amino acid deprivation can be experimentally dissociated into two stages designated the priming stage (during which the interaction between the beta-lactam and the penicillin-binding proteins occurs) and the beta-lactam-independent lysis induction stage. Both stages were shown to require phospholipid synthesis. It has been known for some time that the inhibition of phospholipid synthesis is among the plethora of physiological changes resulting from the stringent response. These results indicate that the inhibition of peptidoglycan synthesis and the penicillin tolerance associated with the stringent response are both secondary consequences of the inhibition of phospholipid synthesis. 相似文献

Membranes of mammalian subcellular organelles contain defined amounts of specific phospholipids that are required for normal functioning of proteins in the membrane. Despite the wide distribution of most phospholipid classes throughout organelle membranes, the site of synthesis of each phospholipid class is usually restricted to one organelle, commonly the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Thus, phospholipids must be transported from their sites of synthesis to the membranes of other organelles. In this article, pathways and subcellular sites of phospholipid synthesis in mammalian cells are summarized. A single, unifying mechanism does not explain the inter‐organelle transport of all phospholipids. Thus, mechanisms of phospholipid transport between organelles of mammalian cells via spontaneous membrane diffusion, via cytosolic phospholipid transfer proteins, via vesicles and via membrane contact sites are discussed. As an example of the latter mechanism, phosphatidylserine (PS) is synthesized on a region of the ER (mitochondria‐associated membranes, MAM) and decarboxylated to phosphatidylethanolamine in mitochondria. Some evidence is presented suggesting that PS import into mitochondria occurs via membrane contact sites between MAM and mitochondria. Recent studies suggest that protein complexes can form tethers that link two types of organelles thereby promoting lipid transfer. However, many questions remain about mechanisms of inter‐organelle phospholipid transport in mammalian cells. 相似文献

Regulation of the beta-galactoside transport system in response to growth substrates in the extremely thermophilic anaerobic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana was studied with the nonmetabolizable analog methyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (TMG) as the transport substrate. T. neapolitana cells grown on galactose or lactose accumulated TMG against a concentration gradient in an intracellular free sugar pool that was exchangeable with external galactose or lactose and showed induced levels of beta-galactosidase. Cells grown on glucose, maltose, or galactose plus glucose showed no capacity to accumulate TMG, though these cells carried out active transport of the nonmetabolizable glucose analog 2-deoxy-D-glucose. Glucose neither inhibited TMG uptake nor caused efflux of preaccumulated TMG; rather, glucose promoted TMG uptake by supplying metabolic energy. These data show that beta-D-galactosides are taken up by T. neapolitana via an active transport system that can be induced by galactose or lactose and repressed by glucose but which is not inhibited by glucose. Thus, the phenomenon of catabolite repression is present in T. neapolitana with respect to systems catalyzing both the transport and hydrolysis of beta-D-galactosides, but inducer exclusion and inducer expulsion, mechanisms that regulate permease activity, are not present. Regulation is manifest at the level of synthesis of the beta-galactoside transport system but not in the activity of the system. 相似文献

Uptake of phosphate by Streptococcus lactis ML3 proceeds in the absence of a proton motive force, but requires the synthesis of ATP by either arginine or lactose metabolism. The appearance of free Pi internally in arginine-metabolizing cells corresponded quantitatively with the disappearance of extracellular phosphate. Phosphate transport was essentially unidirectional, and phosphate concentration gradients of up to 10(5) could be established. Substrate specificity studies of the transport system indicated no preference for either mono- or divalent phosphate anion. The activity of the phosphate transport system was affected by the intracellular Pi concentration by a feedback inhibition mechanism. Uncouplers and ionophores which dissipate the pH gradient across the cytoplasmic membrane inhibited phosphate transport at acidic but not at alkaline pH values, indicating that transport activity is regulated by the internal proton concentration. Phosphate uptake driven by arginine metabolism increased with the intracellular pH with a pKa of 7.3. Differences in transport activity with arginine and lactose as energy sources are discussed. 相似文献

To study the relationship between phospholipid synthesis and organelle biogenesis in the dimorphic bacterium Caulobacter crescentus, auxotrophs have been isolated which require exogenous glycerol or glycerol 3-phosphate for growth when glucose is used as the carbon source. Upon glycerol deprivation, net phospholipid synthesis ceased immediately in a glycerol 3-phosphate auxotroph which was shown to have levels of biosynthetic sn-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (E.C. 1.1.1.8) activity 10 times lower than that of the wild type. In the absence of glycerol, the optical density of the culture continued to increase for the equivalent of one generation, although the cells did not divide. After the equivalent of one generation time, rapid cell death occurred. Cell death also occurred when phospholipid synthesis was inhibited by cerulenin. Although ribonucleic acid and protein syntheses continued at a reduced rate for the equivalent of one generation in mutant strains, a substantial decrease in the rate of deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis occurred immediately upon glycerol deprivation. Revertant strains had wild-type levels of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and normal rates of phospholipid and macromolecular synthesis. 相似文献

Epithelial cells in explants from the mammary glands of euthyroid mature virgin mice are proliferatively dormant. They must undergo DNA synthesis and traverse the cell cycle in vitro before they are able to differentiate fully in response to insulin, hydrocortisone, and prolactin, and synthesize enzymatically active alpha-lactalbumin (measured as lactose synthetase activity). In contrast, glands from hyperthyroid mature virgin mice do not require DNA synthesis in vitro to differentiate. Explants from the euthyroid virgin tissue overcome their dependence on DNA synthesis when 10(-9) M 3,5,3'-triiodo-L-thyronine is added directly to the cultures in addition to the other three hormones. Explants from involuted mammary glands from euthyroid primiparous mice do not require DNA synthesis in vitro to make the milk protein even though they, like explants from mature euthyroid virgin tissue, are proliferatively dormant and do not contain detectable lactose synthetase activity in vivo. Glands from primiparous animals made mildly hypothyroid by ingestion of 0.1% thiouracil in drinking water during 7 wk of involution remain morphologically indistinguishable from glands of their euthyroid counterparts. However, explants from the glands of these hypothyroid animals revert to a state of dependence on DNA synthesis to differentiate functionally. These observations suggest that the dependence on DNA synthesis and cell cycle traversal for hormonal induction of lactose synthetase activity in the mouse mammary gland is controlled by thyroid hormones. 相似文献
