The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is found
only in bacteria, where it catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of numerous …

To succeed, many cells must alternate between life-styles that permit rapid growth in the
presence of abundant nutrients and ones that enhance survival in the absence of those …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) in bacteria is generally regarded as a regulatory
mechanism to ensure sequential utilization of carbohydrates. Selection of the carbon …

Genomic studies have revealed the presence of Ser/Thr kinases and phosphatases in many
bacterial species, although their physiological roles have largely been unclear. Here we …

▪ Abstract The gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is capable of using numerous
carbohydrates as single sources of carbon and energy. In this review, we discuss the …

Sequences and structures of all P-loop-fold proteins were compared with the aim of
reconstructing the principal events in the evolution of P-loop-containing kinases. It is shown …

ABSTRACT P1 is a bacteriophage of Escherichia coli and other enteric bacteria. It
lysogenizes its hosts as a circular, low-copy-number plasmid. We have determined the …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) by transcriptional regulators follows different
mechanisms in gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. In gram-positive bacteria, CcpA …

More than 20 carbohydrates may be transported into the bacterial cell by the
phosphoenopyruvate: carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) that is widely spread …

Bacteria utilise carbon sources in a strictly controlled hierarchical manner for which they
have developed global control mechanisms that govern and coordinate carbon source …
