Transcriptional regulation of theNε‐fructoselysine metabolism inEscherichia coliby global and substrate‐specific cues
2020
Thermally processed food is an important part of the human diet. Heat-treatment, however, promotes the formation of so-called Amadori rearrangement products, such as fructoselysine. The gut microbiota including Escherichia coli can utilize these compounds as a nutrient source. While the degradation route for fructoselysine is well described, regulation of the corresponding pathway genes frlABCD remained poorly understood. Here, we used bioinformatics combined with molecular and biochemical analyses and show that fructoselysine metabolism in E. coli is tightly controlled at the transcriptional level. The global regulator CRP (CAP) as well as the alternative sigma factor σ32 (RpoH) contribute…
