To determine whether intracellular ATP levels can be affected, Escherichia coli overexpressing phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (pck) or phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (ppc) were grown in glucose minimal medium. The Pck-overexpressing cells showed approximately twice the intracellular ATP concentration, with 22% slower growth than the Ppc-overexpressing strain. This unexpected result of higher ATP coupled with slower growth is discussed based on transcriptome analysis.
为了确定细胞内ATP水平是否会受到影响,在葡萄糖基本培养基中培养过表达磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧激酶(Pck)或磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶(Ppc)的大肠杆菌。过表达Pck的细胞显示细胞内ATP浓度约为原来的两倍,但其生长速度比过表达Ppc的菌株慢22%。基于转录组分析讨论了这种ATP水平升高但生长速度减慢的意外结果。
