Abstract excerpt
In Escherichia coli K-12, the major glucose transporter with a central role in carbon catabolite repression and in inducer exclusion is the phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent glucose:phosphotransferase system (PTS). Its membrane-bound subunit, IICB(Glc), is encoded by the gene ptsG; its soluble domain, IIA(Glc), is encoded by crr, which is a member of the pts operon. The system is inducible by D-glucose and, to a...
