  • Title: The lactose carrier of Escherichia coli functionally incorporated in Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides obeys the regulatory conditions of the phototrophic bacterium.
    Author: Elferink MG, Hellingwerf KJ, Nano FE, Kaplan S, Konings WN.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1983 Nov 28; 164(1):185-90. PubMed ID: 6360711.
    Abstract:
    Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides was provided with the ability to transport lactose via conjugation with a strain of Escherichia coli bearing a plasmid containing the lactose operon (including the lac Y gene, coding for the lactose carrier or M protein) and subsequent expression of the lac operon in Rps. sphaeroides (Nano, F.E. and Kaplan, S. submitted). The initial rate of lactose transport in Rps. sphaeroides was studied as a function of the light intensity and the magnitude of the proton-motive force. The results demonstrate that lactose transport is regulated by the rate of cyclic electron transfer in the same way as the endogenous transport systems.
