citrate | a PNPase-mediated response to citrate, and PNPase deletion broadly impacts on the metabolome. PNPase-dependent cells show reduced growth in the presence of increased citrate concentration. In vitro, citrate directly binds and modulates PNPase activity, and the enzyme is inhibited by binding of metal-chelated citrate, predominantly complexed as magnesium-citrate, in the active site at physiological concentrations. In the contrary, metal-free citrate is bound at a vestigial active site, where it stimulates PNPase activity, this vestigial site as an allosteric binding pocket that recognizes metal-free citrate | Escherichia coli |

additional information | construction of a strain in which PNPase activity is uncoupled from the degradosome through the deletion of the C-terminal degradosome-scaffold-ing domain of RNase E. Compared with the parental strain, significant differences are distributed across many metabolic pathways, including the Krebs cycle, amino acid synthesis, and glycolysis in the mutant strain. Salient differences are seen for amino acids and increases in the concentrations of succinate, fumarate, and malate, suggesting uncoupling of the two halves of the Krebs cycle | Escherichia coli |
