The ugp structural genes, coding for the pho regulon dependent sn-glycerol-3-phosphate transport system, were cloned in pBR322 and characterized. The expression of the cloned ugp system was phoB dependent. Cells containing the ugp plasmid overproduced the G3P binding protein upon phosphate starvatio

## Abstract Two types of proteins are discussed in their role of facilitating the transport of maltose and __sn__โglycerolโ3โphosphate in __E. coli__. The first protein is the receptor for phage ฮด, known to be an outer membrane protein. By facilitating the diffusion of maltose and the higher maltod
The gene products of the ugp operon of Escherichia coli are responsible for the uptake of sn-glycerol-3-phosphate and certain glycerophosphodiesters. The regulation of ugp is mainly phoBR-dependent. Significant expression, however, can be observed even in the presence of high concentrations of phosp
The kdsA gene of Escherichia coli was sequenced. It consists of 284 codons and is the last gene of a larger transcription unit. The mRNA is terminated by a rho-independent termination signal with the potential to be active in both orientations. This region is followed by another termination signal w
