Escherichia coli kgtP which maps at 56.5 min codes for alpha-ketoglutarate permease (KgtP). This protein, expressed from the cloned gene using the T7 polymerase system and [35S]methionine labeling, fractionated with cell membranes. Right-side-out (RSO) membrane vesicles prepared from a kgtP negative mutant strain did not transport alpha-ketoglutarate, but RSO vesicles from the same strain expressing KgtP from a transforming plasmid transported alpha-ketoglutarate effectively as measured by uptake of the 14C-labeled substrate. E. coli JC7623 strain grown in M9 minimal medium with glucose, glycerol, or alpha-ketoglutarate as carbon source contained a 1.3-kilobase RNA which hybridized to nick-translated kgtP probe. In addition, strain MC1061 cultures grown under these same conditions were all capable of transporting alpha-ketoglutarate, demonstrating that KgtP is constitutively expressed. The Km and Vmax of KgtP assayed in strain MC1061 vesicles were 13-46 microM and 8 nmol/min/mg protein, respectively. Uncouplers that permeabilized the membrane to protons inhibited alpha-ketoglutarate transport into energized vesicles, and the addition of alpha-ketoglutarate to vesicle suspensions under non-energized conditions resulted in an increase in pH. These results indicate that KgtP is an alpha-ketoglutarate-proton symporter. << Less

Escherichia coli kgtP encodes an alpha-ketoglutarate transporter.
Seol W., Shatkin A.J.
The witA gene located between pss and rrnG on the Escherichia coli chromosome encodes a 432-amino acid protein. It is homologous to a human hepatoma glucose transporter and to E. coli membrane proteins that transport citrate (CitA), arabinose (AraE), and xylose (XylE), and, like these carrier prot ... >> More
The witA gene located between pss and rrnG on the Escherichia coli chromosome encodes a 432-amino acid protein. It is homologous to a human hepatoma glucose transporter and to E. coli membrane proteins that transport citrate (CitA), arabinose (AraE), and xylose (XylE), and, like these carrier proteins, WitA also contains 12 highly hydrophobic putative membrane-spanning regions. Gene disruption mutants constructed in two E. coli strains grew slowly or not at all, depending on genetic background, in M9 minimal medium containing alpha-ketoglutarate. Growth on alpha-ketoglutarate and uptake of alpha-[14C]ketoglutarate were restored by transformation with plasmids containing witA. These complementation studies indicate that WitA is an alpha-ketoglutarate transporter and should be renamed kgtP(alpha-ketoglutarate permease). << Less
