ABSTRACT Next to Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis is the most studied and best
understood organism that also serves as a model for many important pathogens. Due to its …

Most bacteria can selectively use substrates from a mixture of different carbon sources. The
presence of preferred carbon sources prevents the expression, and often also the activity, of …

The phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP): carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) is found
only in bacteria, where it catalyzes the transport and phosphorylation of numerous …

To succeed, many cells must alternate between life-styles that permit rapid growth in the
presence of abundant nutrients and ones that enhance survival in the absence of those …

Since its initial description in the 1940s and eventual elucidation as a highly evolved
pathogenic bacterium, Mycoplasma pneumoniae has come to be recognized as a worldwide …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) in bacteria is generally regarded as a regulatory
mechanism to ensure sequential utilization of carbohydrates. Selection of the carbon …

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is a regulatory mechanism by which the expression of
genes required for the utilization of secondary sources of carbon is prevented by the …

▪ Abstract The gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilis is capable of using numerous
carbohydrates as single sources of carbon and energy. In this review, we discuss the …

The histidine-containing protein (HPr) is the energy coupling protein of the
phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate: phosphotransferase system (PTS), which …

Protein phosphorylation on serine, threonine, and tyrosine (Ser/Thr/Tyr) is well established
as a key regulatory posttranslational modification in eukaryotes, but little is known about its …
