How phosphotransferase system-related protein phosphporylation regulates carbohydrate metabolism in bacteria
Article Abstract:
The mechanisms that guide the carbohydrate phosphotransferse system (PTS), which controls carbohydrate metabolism by catalyzing the transport of several polysaccharides, polyols and other sugar derivatives, are discussed. Findings have shown that PTS regulation network, apart from controlling the metabolism, also interferes with the utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus and the virulence of certain pathogens.
