细菌的磷酸转移酶系统

1、细菌的磷酸转移酶系统,Bacteria are thrifty cells. They often live in inhospitable environments, and many live in places with no oxygen, so their options for generating energy are limited. So, bacteria have developed many clever ways of living off of whatever is available, and exploiting these resources to thei

2、r best advantage. The bacterial phosphotransferase system, often abbreviated as PTS, is a perfect example of both the opportunistic nature of bacterial life, and their thrifty use of resources,注释： 细菌是种节俭的细胞生物体。他们通常都在恶劣的环境当中生存，甚至许多生存在没有氧气的地方，所以他们产生能量的方式选择非常有限。因此细菌自身培养了许多巧妙的方法以适应接触的任何环境，以及开发这些资源于自身以最好

3、的利用。细菌的磷酸转移酶系统，通常缩写为PTS，无论是对细菌生活的多机会自然环境，还是他们节俭使用的资源，都是一个完美的例子,Leading,细菌中糖的磷酸转移酶功能发现,In 1964, Kundig, Ghosh and Roseman reported the discovery of the PEP: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS). Thirty years later, we find that the PTS functions not only as a sugar-phosphorylating system, but also a

Fundamental aspects of past and current PTS research are briefly reviewed, and recent advances增长 are integrated整合 into conceptual pictures that provide guides for fu

EII：分为EIIA,EIIB,EIIC类别，有时EIIC又会连带上EIID,磷酸转移酶系统蛋白-蛋白复合体的三维结构,PTS的作用过程： EI先从PEP处获得磷酸基团，并将其加载到载体蛋白HPr上，然后载体蛋白将

8、磷酸基团传递给整个系列当中相对应不同的转运蛋白。磷酸基团在几种蛋白当中穿梭，从HPr移动到EIIA，再到EIIB ，最终到达处在EIIC（有时会带上一个额外的链EIID）当中的葡萄糖。每个转运蛋白由EII蛋白自身的各个集成物组成，有时会作为隔离蛋白，有时又会在一个长链蛋白质中作为一连串相互连结的结构区域,磷酸化的HPr是一个所有PTS中EII的磷酸通用供体。这个磷酸转移活性伴随着从PTS系列的通用磷酸转移部分到葡萄糖特异的那条途径。而葡萄糖特异的载体（IIAGlc）这个蛋白不仅作为葡萄糖转移过程中的中间体，同时也作为非PTS通透酶和腺苷酸环化酶的调节者。HPrIIAGlc复合体的结构是采用同位

The phosphorylated carbohydrate feeds into glycolysis, normally at the glucose-6-P or fructose-6-P level. Two

As a result, the phosphorylation state of the PTS proteins depends on both the concentration of extracellular carbohydrates and the ratio of i
