The mechanisms of carbon catabolite repression in bacteria

Deutscher, Josef·2008·Current Opinion in Microbiology

Abstract

Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) is the paradigm of cellular regulation. CCR happens when bacteria are exposed to two or more carbon sources and one of them is preferentially utilised (frequently glucose). CCR is often mediated by several mechanisms, which can either affect the synthesis of catabolic enzymes via global or specific regulators or inhibit the uptake of a carbon source and thus the formation of the corresponding inducer. The major CCR mechanisms operative in Enterobacteriaceae and Firmicutes are quite different, but in both types of organisms components of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system (PTS) and protein phosphorylation play a major role. PTS-independent CCR mechanisms are operative in several other bacteria.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
