RESUMO
Colicin K greatly decreased the incorporation of 32P-labeled inorganic orthophosphate into nucleotides and nucleic acids, causing a concomitant increase in the formation of 32P-labeled sugar phosphates in sensitive cells of Escherichia coli. These sugar phosphates were formed in aerobically growing cells, as well as in cells under stringent control of ribonucleic acid synthesis. The main 32P-labeled product was identified as sedoheptulose 7-phosphate in two strains (B1 and K-12 MK-1) and fructose 1,6-diphosphate in one strain (K-12 CP78). The formation of sugar phosphates induced by colicin K was inhibited by carbonyl cyanide m-chlorophenylhydrazone. It was also not observed in N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-treated cells or Mg2+-(Ca2+)-adenosine triphosphatase-less mutant (strain K-12 AN120) cells. Thus, the formation of sugar phosphates in colicin K-treated cells is dependent on the formation of adenosine 5'-triphosphate by oxidative phosphorylation.
