The kinetic parameters in vitro of
the components of the phosphoenolpyruvate:glycose
phosphotransferase system (PTS) in enteric bacteria were collected. To
address the issue of whether the behavior in vivo of the
PTS can be understood in terms of these enzyme kinetics, a detailed
kinetic model was constructed. Each overall phosphotransfer reaction
was separated into two elementary reactions, the first entailing
association of the phosphoryl donor and acceptor into a complex and the
second entailing dissociation of the complex into dephosphorylated
donor and phosphorylated acceptor. Literature data on the
Km values and association constants of PTS proteins
for their substrates, as well as equilibrium and rate constants for the
overall phosphotransfer reactions, were related to the rate constants
of the elementary steps in a set of equations; the rate constants could
be calculated by solving these equations simultaneously. No kinetic
parameters were fitted. As calculated by the model, the kinetic
parameter values in vitro could describe experimental
results in vivo when varying each of the PTS protein concentrations individually while keeping the other protein
concentrations constant. Using the same kinetic constants, but
adjusting the protein concentrations in the model to those present in
cell-free extracts, the model could reproduce experiments in
vitro analyzing the dependence of the flux on the total PTS
protein concentration. For modeling conditions in vivo it
was crucial that the PTS protein concentrations be implemented at their
high in vivo values. The model suggests a new
interpretation of results hitherto not understood; in vivo,
the major fraction of the PTS proteins may exist as complexes with
other PTS proteins or boundary metabolites, whereas in
vitro, the fraction of complexed proteins is much smaller.
