Phenotypes of a mutant
Loss of carbon catabolite repression. Loss of [SW|PTS]-dependent sugar transport due to excessive phosphorylation of [PtsH|search|HPr] by [protein|search|HprK].The mutant is unable to grow on a minimal medium with glucose and ammonium as the only sources of carbon and nitrogen, respectively.The protein
