RESUMO
A highly specific energy-dependent glutamate transport system was demonstrated in membrane vesicles of glutamate-utilizing Escherichia coli K-12 mutants. The glutamate transport activity of membranes from the parent strain, unable to grow on glutamate, was very low. With ascorbate-phenazine methosulfate as the electron donor, mutant preparations displayed 17 to 20 times higher activity than did the wild type. However, the affinity of the mutant carrier for L-glutamate remained the same as in the parent strain. Comparative inhibition analysis of glutamate transport in whole cells and membrane vesicles and of in vitro binding of glutamate to a specific periplasmic-binding protein suggests that under certain conditions the latter may be a component of the E. coli K-12 glutamate transport system.
