Abstract excerpt
In E. coli K-12, the absence of unphosphorylated PtsN (unphospho-PtsN) has been proposed to cause an L-leucine-sensitive growth phenotype (LeuS) by hyperactivated K+ uptake mediated impairment of the expression of the ilvBN operon, encoding subunits of the L-valine (Val)-sensitive acetohydroxyacid synthase I (AHAS I) that renders residual AHAS activity susceptible to inhibition by Leu and K+. This leads to AHAS...
