Abstract
ABSTRACT
We report that the genes
abc
,
yaeC
, and
yaeE
comprise
metD
, an
Escherichia coli
locus encoding a
dl
-methionine uptake system. MetD is an ABC transporter with Abc the ATPase, YaeE the permease, and YaeC the likely substrate binding protein. Expression of these genes is regulated by
l
-methionine and MetJ, a common repressor of the methionine regulon. We propose to rename
abc
,
yaeE
, and
yaeC
as
metN
,
metI
, and
metQ
, respectively.
