The phosphorylated form of IIIGlc. PG - 337-41 AB - Enzyme IIIGlc of the phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS) of Salmonella typhimurium can occur in two forms: phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated. Phosphorylated IIIGlc (P-IIIGlc) has a slightly lower mobility during sodium dodecyl sulphate/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis than IIIGlc. In bacterial extracts both phosphoenolpyruvate (the physiological phosphoryl donor of the PTS) as well as ATP can phosphorylate IIIGlc. The ATP-catalyzed reaction is dependent on phosphoenolpyruvate synthase, however, and is due to prior conversion of ATP to phosphoenolpyruvate. The phosphoryl group of phosphorylated IIIGlc is hydrolysed after boiling in sodium dodecyl sulfate but phosphorylated IIIGlc can be discriminated from IIIGlc if treated with this detergent at room temperature. We have used the different mobilities of IIIGlc and P-IIIGlc to estimate the proportion of these two forms in intact cells. Wild-type cells contain predominantly P-IIIGlc in the absence of PTS sugars. In an S. typhimurium mutant containing a leaky ptsI17 mutation (0.1% enzyme I activity remaining) both forms of IIIGlc occur in approximately equal amounts. Addition of PTS sugars such as glucose results, both in wild-type and mutant, in a dephosphorylation of P-IIIGlc. This correlates well with the observed inhibition of non-PTS uptake systems by PTS sugars via nonphosphorylated IIIGlc.
