1. Sucrose metabolizing enzymes in cell suspension cultures of Bauhinia forficata, Curcuma zedoaria and Phaseolus vulgaris.
The objective of this work was to study the activity of sucrose metabolizing enzymes in extracts of cell suspension cultures of Bauhinia forficata Link, Curcuma zedoaria Roscoe and Phaseolus vulgaris L. Invertase pathway was identified in the three studied species. Sucrose synthase pathway was also responsible for sucrose metabolism in Curcuma zedoaria and P

2. Fructokinase (Fraction IV) of Pea Seeds 1
A fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) was obtained from pea (Pisum sativum L.) seeds. This enzyme, termed fructokinase (fraction IV), was specific for fructose as substrate and had little activity with glucose or mannose. Excess fructose inhibited the enzyme at the optimum pH (8.2) but not at pH 6.6. MgATP was inhibitory at pH 6.6. The apparent Michaelis-Menten consta

3. Factors Affecting Hexose Phosphorylation in Acetobacter xylinum
Fructose was oxidized and converted to cellulose by cells of Acetobacter xylinum grown on fructose or succinate, but not by cells grown on glucose. In resting fructose-grown cells, glucose strongly suppressed fructose utilization. Extracts obtained from fructose- or succinate-grown cells catalyzed the adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-dependent formation of the 6

4. Divergent fructokinase genes are differentially expressed in tomato.
Two cDNA clones (Frk1 and Frk2) encoding fructokinase (EC 2.7.1.4) were isolated from tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum). The Frk2 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 328 amino acids that was more than 90% identical with a previously characterized potato (Solanum tuberosum) fructokinase. In contrast, the Frk1 cDNA encoded a deduced protein of 347 amino acids tha

5. Biochemical characterization of a fructokinase mutant of Rhizobium meliloti.
A double mutant strain (UR3) of Rhizobium meliloti L5-30 was isolated from a phosphoglucose isomerase mutant (UR1) on the basis of its resistance to fructose inhibition when grown on fructose-rich medium. UR3 lacked both phosphoglucose isomerase and fructokinase activity. A mutant strain (UR4) lacking only the fructokinase activity was derived from UR3; it g

6. Bifidobacterium longum Requires a Fructokinase (Frk; ATP:d-Fructose 6-Phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.4) for Fructose Catabolism
Although the ability of Bifidobacterium spp. to grow on fructose as a unique carbon source has been demonstrated, the enzyme(s) needed to incorporate fructose into a catabolic pathway has hitherto not been defined. This work demonstrates that intracellular fructose is metabolized via the fructose-6-P phosphoketolase pathway and suggests that a fructokinase (

7. Cloning, sequencing, and expression of the Zymomonas mobilis fructokinase gene and structural comparison of the enzyme with other hexose kinases.
The frk gene encoding the enzyme fructokinase (fructose 6-phosphotransferase [EC 2.7.1.4]) from Zymomonas mobilis has been isolated on a partial TaqI digest fragment of the genome and sequenced. An open reading frame of 906 bp corresponding to 302 amino acids was identified on a 3-kbp TaqI fragment. The deduced amino acid sequence corresponds to the first 20

8. Distinct Physiological Roles of Fructokinase Isozymes Revealed by Gene-Specific Suppression of Frk1 and Frk2 Expression in Tomato
There are two divergent fructokinase isozymes, Frk1 and Frk2 in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plants. To investigate the physiological functions of each isozyme, the expression of each fructokinase mRNA was independently suppressed in transgenic tomato plants, and the respective phenotypes were evaluated. Suppression of Frk1 expression resulted in d

10. Expression of the Escherichia coli pmi gene, encoding phosphomannose-isomerase in Zymomonas mobilis, leads to utilization of mannose as a novel growth substrate, which can be used as a selective marker.
Wild-type Zymomonas mobilis can utilize only three substrates (sucrose, glucose, and fructose) as sole carbon sources, which are largely converted into ethanol and carbon dioxide. Here, we show that although D-mannose is not used as a growth substrate, it is taken up via the glucose uniport system (glucose facilitator protein) with a Vmax similar to that of

11. Sucrose fermentation by Fusobacterium mortiferum ATCC 25557: transport, catabolism, and products.
Studies of sucrose utilization by Fusobacterium mortiferum ATCC 25557 have provided the first definitive evidence for phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sugar:phosphotransferase activity in the family Bacteroidaceae. The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent sucrose:phosphotransferase system and the two enzymes required for the dissimilation of sucrose 6-phosphate are in

12. Enzymes II of the phosphotransferase system do not catalyze sugar transport in the absence of phosphorylation.
In Salmonella typhimurium, glucose, mannose, and fructose are normally transported and phosphorylated by the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system. We have investigated the transport of these sugars and their non-metabolizable analogs in mutant strains lacking the phospho-carrier proteins of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase syst
