title: [Comparative characteristics of the metabolism of E. coli cells with various activity of penicillin acylase].
abstract: A correlation between the synthesis and secretion of penicillin acylase (PA; EC 3.5.1.11) and the membrane phospholipid composition was observed in three E. coli strains. In cells with overproduction of PA, the phospholipid/protein ratio decreases, while the cardiolipin/phosphatidylglycerol ratio increases. The differences in the functioning of the electron transport system were revealed in cells with different levels of PA synthesis and secretion. The O2 consumption rate was 3 times lower in the cells with overproduction of PA than in those of less productive strains. On the contrary, membrane particles isolated from the cells of PA producers had no significant differences in the O2-reduction rate. The sensitivity of the strains to the inhibitor of terminal oxidases, sodium cyanide, and to the uncoupler of redox phosphorylation, chlorocarbonyl-phenylhydrazone, was different. Thus the E. coli cells with PA overproduction are characterized by significant changes in energetics and constructive metabolism. The interrelations between PA overproduction, phospholipid metabolism and the respiratory chain activity are discussed.
