An Escherichia coli mutant producing a truncated inactive form of GlgC synthesizes glycogen: further evidences for the occurrence of various important sources of ADPglucose in enterobacteria.

Abstract excerpt

AC70R1-504 Escherichia coli mutants possess a glgC* gene with a nucleotide change resulting in a premature stop codon that renders a truncated, inactive form of GlgC. Cells over-expressing the wild type glgC, but not those over-expressing the AC70R1-504 glgC*, accumulated high ADPglucose and glycogen levels. AC70R1-504 mutants accumulated glycogen, whereas DeltaglgCAP deletion mutants lacking the whole glycogen...
