The regulation of the synthesis of nucleoside metabolizing enzymes has been studied in cya and crp mutant strains of Escherichia coli. The synthesis of the cyt-enzymes, cytidine deaminase and uridine phosphorylase regulated by the cytR gene product, is activated by the cAMP-CRP complex. On the other

Based on primary amino acid sequence comparisons with other phosphoglucomutases, 12 conserved residues in the Acetobacter xylinum phosphoglucomutase (CelB) were substituted by site-directed mutagenesis, resulting in mutant enzymes with K cat values [glucose-1phosphate (G-1-P) to glucose-6-phosphate]
Cells of Escherichia coli which produce high levels of the sfiA protein are UV-sensitive and filament extensively. It has been postulated that the sfiA protein is a division inhibitor which interacts with the ftsZ protein (formerly called sfiB or sulB) leading to cell division arrest. Under certain
E. coli K12 was found to utilise both D-and L-stereoisomers of alanine as sole sources of carbon, nitrogen and energy for growth. This capability was absolutely dependent upon the possession of an active membrane-bound D-alanine dehydrogenase, and was lost by mutants in which the enzyme was defectiv
The metabolization of L-carnitine was studied using whole cells of Escherichia coli 044 K74. It showed features of an epigenetical control. L-carnitine and crotonobetaine were able to induce the carnitine-reducing system. Oxygen and nitrate as electron acceptors, y-butyrobetaine as find pro-' duct o
