The Bacterial Phosphoenolpyruvate:Sugar Phosphotransferase System

  • Chapter

Abstract

The bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate: glycose phosphotransferase system, or PTS, plays a key role in several important physiological processes. Those PTS functions thus far identified include transport of PTS sugar substrates across the cytoplasmic membrane coupled with their phosphorylation, chemotaxis toward PTS sugar substrates, and regulation of the synthesis of enzymes and permeases required for the catabolism of certain non-PTS sugars. The latter function is achieved primarily by regulating both adenylate cyclase and the respective non-PTS sugar permeases.

The authors were supported by Program Project Grant CA21901 from the National Cancer Institute of the NIH. Contribution 1247 from the McCollum—Pratt Institute.
