โœฆ Synopsis

The gltS gene is known to encode a sodium-dependent, glutamate-specific permease. We have localized the Escherichia coli K12 gltS gene with respect to the spoT gene, sequenced it, and recombined a null insertion-deletion allele into the chromosome without loss of viability. The gltS null allele gives a Glt- phenotype, i.e. it abolishes the ability of a gltCc host to grow on glutamate as sole carbon and nitrogen source and also confers alpha-methylglutamate resistance. A multicopy plasmid expressing the gltS gene can reverse the Glt- phenotype of gltS- or wild-type strains while other plasmids show host-dependent complementation patterns. Induction of gltS gene overexpression under control of isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactoside (IPTG)-inducible promoters severely inhibits growth. The GltS protein is deduced to be a 42425 dalton hydrophobic protein with 2 sets of 5 possible integral protein domains, each flanking a central hydrophilic, flexible region.

It has previously been proposed, based on indirect evidence, that the Rho protein may control the expression of the rho gene. Using an in vitro system for the transcription and translation of the rho gene cloned into plasmid pBR322, we tested this hypothesis directly by monitoring the effect in vitr

Two new mutants of E. coli K12, strains PT9 and PT32 were isolated, that were defective in proline transport. They had no high affinity proline transport activity, but their cytoplasmic membranes retained proline binding activity with altered sensitivity to inhibition by p-chloromercuribenzoate (pCM
