Abstract excerpt
FraB is a deglycase in a metabolic pathway that allows Salmonella to utilize fructose-asparagine (F-Asn). Some fraB mutants are sensitive to F-Asn due to the accumulation of 6-phosphofructose-aspartate (6-P-F-Asp), a toxic intermediate in this pathway. We determined that different alleles of fraB cause different amounts of 6-P-F-Asp-mediated toxicity due to effects on the expression of the downstream gene, fraD,...
