Identification and mapping of a second proline permease Salmonella typhimurium.

R Menzel, J Roth
PMCID: PMC293781  PMID: 6245058

Abstract

In this paper we demonstrate the existence of a second proline permease, gene proP, in Salmonella typhimurium. Uptake assays demonstrate that this second proline permease has 5 to 10% the uptake rate of the putP permease, the cell's major proline permease, when assayed at 20 microM proline. Genetic mapping by Hfr and P22-mediated genetic crosses placed the second proline permease gene at 92 min on the S. typhimurium genetic map, near the genes for melibiose utilization. F'-mediated complementation tests indicated that Escherichia coli also has the proP gene.
