TLDR
The mechanism of lactose-glucose diauxie in Escherichia coli has been reinvestigated and was found to be caused mainly by inducer exclusion, and the gene encoding HPr kinase, a key component of CCR in many bacteria, was discovered recently.

Carbon catabolite repression in bacteria: many ways to make the most out of nutrients

TL;DR: The most recent findings on the different mechanisms that have evolved to allow bacteria to use carbon sources in a hierarchical manner are discussed.

How Phosphotransferase System-Related Protein Phosphorylation Regulates Carbohydrate Metabolism in Bacteria

TL;DR: The known protein phosphorylation-related regulatory functions of the PTS are summarized, which shows that the PTS regulation network not only controls carbohydrate uptake and metabolism but also interferes with the utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus and the virulence of certain pathogens.
Journal ArticleDOI

The acetate switch.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that nucleoid proteins orchestrate a progression of distinct nucleoprotein complexes to ensure proper transcription of its gene and that acetyl∼P influences cellular processes from organelle biogenesis to cell cycle regulation and from biofilm development to pathogenesis.

Role of the Arabidopsis Glucose Sensor HXK1 in Nutrient, Light, and Hormonal Signaling

TL;DR: HXK1 mutants lacking catalytic activity still support various signaling functions in gene expression, cell proliferation, root and inflorescence growth, and leaf expansion and senescence, thus demonstrating the uncoupling of glucose signaling from glucose metabolism.

Phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase systems of bacteria.

TL;DR: The IIAGlc protein, part of the glucose-specific PTS, is a central regulatory protein which in its nonphosphorylated form can bind to and inhibit several non-PTS uptake systems and thus prevent entry of inducers.

Catabolite repression in Bacillus subtilis: a global regulatory mechanism for the gram-positive bacteria?

TL;DR: Three components involved in catabolite repression of gene expression in Bacillus have been identified and direct protein‐protein interaction between CcpA and HPr(Ser‐P) was recently demonstrated and constitutes a link between metabolic activity and CR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Catabolite repression and inducer control in Gram-positive bacteria

TL;DR: Results currently available clearly indicate that the metabolite-activated protein kinase-mediated phosphorylation of Ser-46 in HPr plays a key role in catabolite repression and the control of inducer levels in low-GC Gram-positive bacteria.

PRD — a protein domain involved in PTS‐dependent induction and carbon catabolite repression of catabolic operons in bacteria

TL;DR: Several operon‐specific transcriptional regulators, including antiterminators and activators, contain a duplicated conserved domain, the PRD, which are functionally specialized in either induction or catabolite repression.
