The role of the trehalose system in regulating the maltose regulon of Escherichia coli.

Molecular microbiology - 1 May 1999

Decker K, Gerhardt F, Boos W

Abstract excerpt

The maltose regulon consists of 10 genes encoding an ABC transporter for maltose and maltodextrins as well as enzymes necessary for their degradation. MalK, the energy-transducing subunit of the transport system, acts phenotypically as a repressor of MalT, the transcriptional activator of the mal genes. Using MacConkey maltose indicator plates we isolated an insertion mutation that strongly reduced the repressing...
