Abstract excerpt
External glucose stimulates transcription of several genes including ptsG encoding IICB(Glc), a membrane component of the phosphotransferase system (PTS), by relieving the negative regulation of a global repressor Mlc in Escherichia coli. We investigate here how glucose modulates Mlc action. The Mlc-mediated repression is eliminated by a ptsI mutation, while Mlc is constitutively active in a ptsG mutant. We show...
