| Abstract: | Background The Bacillus subtilis glucokinase operon was predicted to be comprised of the genes, yqgP (now named gluP), yqgQ, and glcK. We have previously established a role for glcK in glucose metabolism. In the absence of enzymes that phosphorylate glucose, such as GlcK and/or enzyme IIGlc, accumulated cytoplasmic glucose can be transported out of the cell. Genes within the glucokinase operon were not previously
known to play a role in glucose transport. Here we describe the expression of gluP and its function in glucose transport. |
