Isolated nucleic acid molecules, designated PTS nucleic acid molecules, which code for novel PTS proteins from Corynebact: erium glutamicum are described. The invention also offers antisense nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression vectors containing PTS nucleic acid molecules, and host cells into which the expression vectors were introduced. The invention also offers isolated PTS proteins, mutated PTS proteins, fusion proteins, antigenic peptides and methods for improving the production of a desired compound from C. glutamicum based on the genetic manipulation of PTS genes in this organism. . |
