Abstract excerpt
The uptake of hexose 6-phosphates in Escherichia coli is mediated by the transporter UhpT, the synthesis of which is induced by the presence of glucose 6-phosphate (glucose 6-P) in the medium. Since this protein functions as an anion exchanger, it is generally assumed to be geared for the use of sugar phosphates as a carbon source. However, the question was unresolved whether this transporter can also provide the...
