Abstract:
:The ability of Rickettsia prowazekii to transport potential sources of the glucose moiety of bacterial polysaccharides was determined. Transport was determined both by filtration assays and by centrifugation through nonaqueous layers. Uridine 5'-diphosphoglucose (UDPG) was transported, whereas glucose was not transported; the uptake of glucose phosphates, although greater than that for glucose, was markedly lower than the transport of UDPG. Furthermore, the activities of hexokinase and phosphoglucomutase, enzymes required for the metabolism of glucose and glucose 6-phosphate, were undetectable in rickettsial extracts. The uptake of UDPG had an extended time course and did not reach a plateau until 60 min. The maximum rate of uptake was 340 pmol/min per mg of protein, and the rate was half-maximal at a UDPG concentration of 220 microM. Measurement of true influx of UDPG was complicated by the low activity of this transport system and the metabolism of the UDPG. The uptake of labeled UDPG was markedly inhibited by a 10-fold excess of uridine monophosphate, uridine diphospho-N-acetylglucosamine, and uridine diphospho-N-acetylgalactosamine but not by a variety of other structurally related compounds.
