Most strains of Escherichia coli K-12 are unable to use the enzyme IIA/IIB (enzyme IIMan) complex of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) in anaerobic growth and therefore cannot utilize glucosamine anaerobically. Introduction into these strains of a ptsG mutation, which eliminates activity of the enzyme IIIGlc/IIB' complex of the PTS, resulted in inability to grow anaerobically on glucose and mannose. Derivative strains able to grow anaerobically on glucosamine had mutations at a locus close to man, the gene coding for phosphomannose isomerase, and had higher enzyme IIA/IIB activities during anaerobic growth than did the parental strain. These results establish a locus affecting function of enzyme IIA/IIB that maps distant from ptsM, the probable structural gene for enzyme IIB.
大多数大肠杆菌K-12菌株在厌氧生长时无法利用磷酸烯醇丙酮酸:糖磷酸转移酶系统(PTS)的酶IIA/IIB(酶IIMan)复合物,因此不能厌氧利用氨基葡萄糖。将ptsG突变引入这些菌株,该突变消除了PTS的酶IIIGlc/IIB'复合物的活性,导致无法在葡萄糖和甘露糖上厌氧生长。能够在氨基葡萄糖上厌氧生长的衍生菌株在靠近man的位点发生了突变,man是编码磷酸甘露糖异构酶的基因,并且在厌氧生长期间比亲本菌株具有更高的酶IIA/IIB活性。这些结果确定了一个影响酶IIA/IIB功能的位点,该位点与ptsM(酶IIB的可能结构基因)相距较远。
