PMCID: PMC220262  PMID: 7045081

Abstract

The phosphoenolpyruvate-dependent carbohydrate:phosphotransferase system enzyme IISCR, specific for and regulated by sucrose, was analyzed in derivatives of Escherichia coli K-12 carrying the sucrose plasmid pUR404. Enzyme IIScr, coded for by gene scrA of the plasmid, depended for its transport and phosphorylation activity directly on the phosphotransferase system enzyme IIIGlc, Scr, coded for by the chromosomal gene crr.
