Abstract excerpt
It is known that in mutants of Escherichia coli lacking the histidine protein (HPr) of the carbohydrate: phosphotransferase system, all substrates of the system can be taken up in the presence of the fructose-regulated HPr-like protein FPr (gene fruF). Although this protein fully substituted for HPr in transport and phosphorylation, we found that it was not able to complement efficiently for HPr in mediating...
