Dependence on pH of substrate binding to a mutant lactose carrier, lacYun, in Escherichia coli. A model for H+/lactose symport.

ABSTRACT: The lacYun gene, which encodes a lactose carrier showing the uncoupled phenotype of substrate transport in Escherichia coli [Wilson, Kusch & Kashket (1970) Biochem. Biophys. Res. Commun. 40, 1409-1414], was cloned on a plasmid vector, pBR322. The binding of a substrate, p-nitrophenyl alpha-galactoside, to the lacYun carrier in membranes from the strain harbouring the lacYun clone showed a pH-dependence different from its binding to the wild-type lactose carrier. This finding indicated that the lacYun mutation confers higher affinity for H+ on the carrier, exerting its effect on the less efficient dissociation of substrate inside cells. The result coincides with the proposal [Yamato & Rosenbusch (1983) FEBS Lett. 151, 102-104] that the proton affecting the substrate binding is the coupling proton of the proton/lactose symport reaction, which allows only the ordered mechanism of binding of substrate to an H+-carrier binary complex. From the simplest model of the symport reaction, constructed on the basis of these results, the coupling site of energy in the carrier cycle of the transport reaction can be identified at the substrate-dissociation step inside cells.

Conservation of residues involved in sugar/H(+) symport by the sucrose permease of Escherichia coli relative to lactose permease.

Project description:Building a three-dimensional model of the sucrose permease of Escherichia coli (CscB) with the X-ray crystal structure lactose permease (LacY) as template reveals a similar overall fold for CscB. Moreover, despite only 28% sequence identity and a marked difference in substrate specificity, the structural organization of the residues involved in sugar-binding and H(+) translocation is conserved in CscB. Functional analyses of mutants in the homologous key residues provide strong evidence that they play a similar critical role in the mechanisms of CscB and LacY.

Stoicheiometry of lactose-H+ symport across the plasma membrane of Escherichia coli.

Project description:The rate of [(14)C]lactose inflow into anaerobic, non-metabolizing, Escherichia coli has been correlated with the rate of the simultaneous effective inflow of H(+). It is shown that the initial rates of the two transport processes are essentially the same, and it is concluded that the two processes are strictly coupled with a 1:1 stoicheiometry.

Microaerobic fermentation alters lactose metabolism in Escherichia coli

Project description:We report the effect of oxygenation state in lactose grown escherichia coli producing recombinant proteins. To shed more light on the mechanistic correlation between the uptake of lactose and dissolved oxygen, a comprehensive study has been undertaken with the E. coli BL21 (DE3) strain. Differences in consumption pattern of lactose, metabolites, biomass and product formation due to aerobiosis have been investigated. Transcriptomic profiling of metabolic changes due to aerobic process and microaerobic process during protein formation phase has been studied and the results provide a deeper understanding of protein production in E. coli BL21 (DE3) strains with lactose based promoter expression systems.This study also provides a scientific understanding of escherichia coli metabolism upon oxygen fluctuations.

Protein expression dynamics during Escherichia coli glucose-lactose diauxie.

Project description:BackgroundEscherichia coli is a well-studied anaerobic bacteria which is able to regulate metabolic pathways depending on the type of sugar presented in the medium. We have studied the glucose-lactose shift in E. coli at the protein level using a recently developed mass spectrometry platform.MethodCells were grown in minimal medium containing two sugars (glucose and lactose) and analyzed using novel mass spectrometry cluster. The cluster combines the high resolving power and dynamic range of Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FTICR) for accurate mass measurement and quantitation with multiple ion traps for fast and sensitive tandem mass spectrometry. The protein expression profile was followed in time across the glucose-lactose diauxic shift using label-free quantitation from the FTICR data.Results and conclusionThe entire dataset was interrogated by KEGG pathway analysis, mapping measured changes in protein abundance onto known metabolic pathways. The obtained results were consistent with previously published gene expression data, with β-galactosidase being the most strongly induced protein during the diauxic shift.

Combinatorial transcriptional control of the lactose operon of Escherichia coli.

Project description:The goal of systems biology is to understand the behavior of the whole in terms of knowledge of the parts. This is hard to achieve in many cases due to the difficulty of characterizing the many constituents involved in a biological system and their complex web of interactions. The lac promoter of Escherichia coli offers the possibility of confronting "system-level" properties of transcriptional regulation with the known biochemistry of the molecular constituents and their mutual interactions. Such confrontations can reveal previously unknown constituents and interactions, as well as offer insight into how the components work together as a whole. Here we study the combinatorial control of the lac promoter by the regulators Lac repressor (LacR) and cAMP-receptor protein (CRP). A previous in vivo study [Setty Y, Mayo AE, Surette MG, Alon U (2003) Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 100:7702-7707] found gross disagreement between the observed promoter activities and the expected behavior based on the known molecular mechanisms. We repeated the study by identifying and removing several extraneous factors that significantly modulated the expression of the lac promoter. Through quantitative, systematic characterization of promoter activity for a number of key mutants and guided by the thermodynamic model of transcriptional regulation, we were able to account for the combinatorial control of the lac promoter quantitatively, in terms of a cooperative interaction between CRP and LacR-mediated DNA looping. Specifically, our analysis indicates that the sensitivity of the inducer response results from LacR-mediated DNA looping, which is significantly enhanced by CRP.

Alternative-substrate inhibition and the kinetic mechanism of the beta-galactoside/proton symport of Escherichia coli.

Project description:The effects of competing alternative substrates on the rate of uptake by galactoside/proton symport were investigated. These experiments produced a decrease in apparent maximum velocity with increased alternative-substrate concentration that cannot be accounted for by a simple ordered mechanism. This, together with non-linearities in the variation of the apparent kinetic constants with alternative-substrate concentration, can be accounted for by a random mechanism for galactoside and proton binding.

Non-lactose fermenting <i>Escherichia coli</i>: Following in the footsteps of lactose fermenting <i>E. coli</i> high-risk clones.

Project description:Multi-resistant pathogenic strains of non-lactose fermenting Escherichia coli (NLF E. coli) are responsible for various intestinal and extraintestinal infections. Although several studies have characterised such strains using conventional methods, they have not been comprehensively studied at the genomic level. To address this gap, we used whole-genome sequencing (WGS) coupled with detailed microbiological and biochemical testing to investigate 17 NLF E. coli from a diagnostic centre (icddr,b) in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The prevalence of NLF E. coli was 10%, of which 47% (8/17) exhibited multi-drug resistant (MDR) phenotypes. All isolates (17/17) were confirmed as E. coli and could not ferment lactose sugar. WGS data analysis revealed international high-risk clonal lineages. The most prevalent sequence types (STs) were ST131 (23%), ST1193 (18%), ST12 (18%), ST501 (12%), ST167 (6%), ST73 (6%) and ST12 (6%). Phylogenetic analysis corroborated a striking clonal population amongst the studied NLF E. coli isolates. The predominant phylogroup detected was B2 (65%). The bla CTX-M-15 extended-spectrum beta-lactamase gene was present in 53% of isolates (9/17), whilst 64.7% (11/17) isolates were affiliated with pathogenic pathotypes. All extraintestinal pathogenic E. coli pathotypes demonstrated β-hemolysis. Our study underscores the presence of critical pathogens and MDR clones amongst non-lactose fermenting E. coli. We suggest that non-lactose fermenting E. coli be considered equally capable as lactose fermenting forms in causing intestinal and extraintestinal infections. Further, there is a need to undertake systematic, unbiased monitoring of predominant lineages amongst non-lactose fermenting E. coli that would help in better treatment and prevention strategies.

Galactoside-proton symport in a lacYUN mutant of Escherichia coli investigated by analysis of transport progress curves.

Project description:The kinetics of galactoside-proton symport catalysed by a wild-type strain and one carrying a mutation, previously reported to cause uncoupling of the symport reaction, have been examined. The mutation does not affect the stoichiometry during the initial period of uptake, when the internal concentration of galactoside is low, but it does result in much greater competition from the galactoside as it is accumulated. Simple methods for the analysis of the uptake progress curves have been developed and used to estimate the initial rate of uptake and affinity for internal galactoside. The maximum rate of uptake is decreased by a factor of 2 at most whereas the affinity for internal galactoside is increased up to 50-fold by the mutation. The pH-dependence of the galactoside efflux reaction is changed in a manner which suggests that the defect is in the interaction between proton-binding and galactoside-binding sites rather than in the structure of either site.

Delineating electrogenic reactions during lactose/H+ symport.

Project description:Electrogenic reactions accompanying downhill lactose/H(+) symport catalyzed by the lactose permease of Escherichia coli (LacY) have been assessed using solid-supported membrane-based electrophysiology with improved time resolution. Rates of charge translocation generated by purified LacY reconstituted into proteoliposomes were analyzed over a pH range from 5.2 to 8.5, which allows characterization of two electrogenic steps in the transport mechanism: (i) a weak electrogenic reaction triggered by sugar binding and observed under conditions where H(+) translocation is abolished either by acidic pH or by a Glu325 --> Ala mutation in the H(+) binding site (this step with a rate constant of approximately 200 s(-1) for wild-type LacY leads to an intermediate proposed to represent an "occluded" state) and (ii) a major electrogenic reaction corresponding to 94% of the total charge translocated at pH 8, which is pH-dependent with a maximum rate of approximately 30 s(-1) and a pK of 7.5. This partial reaction is assigned to rate-limiting H(+) release on the cytoplasmic side of LacY during turnover. These findings together with previous electrophysiological results and biochemical-biophysical studies are included in an overall kinetic mechanism that allows delineation of the electrogenic steps in the reaction pathway.

Use of progress curves to estimate the co-substrate-to-substrate flow ratio of a symport mechanism. Application to the isoleucine-Na+ symport of mouse ascites-tumour cells and to the lactose-proton symport.

Project description:The model envisages two components in the process, whereby Ht equivalents of co-substrate and St equivalents of substrate accumulate in the cellular compartment in time t. The first is the flow through the symport, n equivalents of co-substrate entering or leaving with each substrate equivalent. The second is the basal flow of co-substrate outside the symport. In certain specific circumstances n can be derived by plotting Ht/t against St/t. The principal requirement is that, whereas the ratio of the component flows must change in the interval t, the magnitude of the basal flow must either be zero or constant. The procedure is applied to published observations [West & Mitchell (1973) Biochem. J. 132, 587-592] on the lactose-proton symport of Escherichia coli [n = 1.075 +/- 0.064(7)] and to new observations on the isoleucine-Na+ symport of mouse ascites-tumour cells [n = 1.136 +/- 0.120(18)].
