Escherichia coli contains two major systems for transporting inorganic phosphate (P(i)). The low-affinity P(i) transporter (pitA) is expressed constitutively and is dependent on the proton motive force, while the high-affinity Pst system (pstSCAB) is induced at low external P(i) concentrations by the pho regulon and is an ABC transporter. We isolated a third putative P(i) transport gene, pitB, from E. coli K-12...
