Implication of proteases in the respiration dependent inactivation of the lactose permease of E. coli
The lactose permease of E. coli becomes irreversibly inactivated during lactose transport under conditions of high respiratory activity. This inactivation is characterized by a decrease in the steady state of lactose accumulation, a decrease in the influx rate of lactose, and a decrease in the trans...

Zusammenfassung: | The lactose permease of
E. coli becomes irreversibly inactivated during lactose transport under conditions of high respiratory activity. This inactivation is characterized by a decrease in the steady state of lactose accumulation, a decrease in the influx rate of lactose, and a decrease in the transmembrane electrical potential. We report here that inhibitors of serine proteases (phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride and
N-α-
P-tosyl-L-lysine chloromethyl ketone) prevent this inactivation, thus implicating proteases in this process. |
