Transport and phosphorylation of glucose via enzymes II-A/II-B and II-BGlc of the phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system are tightly coupled in Salmonella typhimurium. Mutant strains (pts) that lack the phosphorylating proteins of this system, enzyme I and HPr, are unable to transport or to grow on glucose. From ptsHI deletion strains of S. typhimurium, mutants were isolated that regained growth on and transport of glucose. Several lines of evidence suggest that these Glc+ mutants have an altered enzyme II-BGlc as follows. (i) Insertion of a ptsG::Tn10 mutation (resulting in a defective II-BGlc) abolished growth on and transport of glucose in these Glc+ strains. Introduction of a ptsM mutation, on the other hand, which abolishes II-A/II-B activity, had no effect. (ii) Methyl alpha-glucoside transport and phosphorylation (specific for II-BGlc) was lowered or absent in ptsH+,I+ transductants of these Glc+ strains. Transport and phosphorylation of other phosphoenolpyurate:sugar phosphotransferase system sugars were normal. (iii) Membranes isolated from these Glc+ mutants were unable to catalyze transphosphorylation of methyl alpha-glucoside by glucose 6-phosphate, but transphosphorylation of mannose by glucose 6-phosphate was normal. (iv) The mutation was in the ptsG gene or closely linked to it. We conclude that the altered enzyme II-BGlc has acquired the capacity to transport glucose in the absence of phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system-mediated phosphorylation. However, the affinity for glucose decreased at least 1,000-fold as compared to the wild-type strain. At the same time the mutated enzyme II-BGlc lost the ability to catalyze the phosphorylation of its substrates via IIIGlc.
