Co-regulation of the phosphate-binding protein and alkaline phosphatase synthesis in Escherichia coli.

PMCID: PMC233098  PMID: 776945

Abstract

In phosphate-starved cells of Escherichia coli, the synthesis of alkaline phosphatase and some additional periplasmic proteins is derepressed. One of these proteins, which does not appear in a phoS- constitutive strain, has been identified as well the periplasmic phosphate-binding protein.
