Protein phosphorylation chain of a Bacillus subtilis fructose-specific phosphotransferase system and its participation in regulation of the expression of the lev operon.

Abstract excerpt

The proteins encoded by the fructose-inducible lev operon of Bacillus subtilis are components of a phosphotransferase system. They transport fructose by a mechanism which couples sugar uptake and phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar phosphorylation. The complex transport system consists of two integral membrane proteins (LevF and LevG) and two soluble, hydrophilic proteins (LevD and LevE). The two soluble proteins...
