Abstract excerpt
The global regulator Mlc controls several genes implicated in sugar utilization systems, notably the phosphotransferase system (PTS) genes, ptsG, manXYZ and ptsHI, as well as the malT activator. No specific low molecular weight inducer has been identified that can inactivate Mlc, but its activity appeared to be modulated by transport of glucose via Enzyme IICB(Glc) (PtsG). Here we demonstrate that inactivation of...
