Abstract excerpt
Pyruvate is a central metabolite that connects many metabolic pathways in living organisms. To meet the cellular pyruvate requirements, the enterobacterium Escherichia coli has at least three pyruvate uptake systems-the H+/pyruvate symporter BtsT, and two thus far less well-characterized transporters, YhjX and CstA. BtsT and CstA belong to the putative carbon starvation (CstA) family (transporter classification...
