The Maltose B Region in Salmonella Typhimurium, Escherichia Coli and Other Enterobacteriaceae

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSA,volume 245))

Abstract

The envelope of Gram negative bacteria plays a critical role in the primary interactions between bacteria and their environment. Such interactions include the sensing of the presence of substrates (chemotaxis) and their subsequent translocation into the cell (active transport), the relations with other bacteria (mating) and with other prokaryotic organisms such as bacteriophages, and the relations with the host (bacteria-cell interactions, recognition by the host immune system). A large number of these interactions are mediated by envelope proteins. As a model system to study such kinds of interactions, we use the maltose B region which determines the maltose and maltodextrin transport system of Escherichia coli. This system is constituted of several proteins belonging to the three layers of the Gram negative bacterial envelope.
