The nature of the energy source for phosphate transport was studied in strains of Escherichia coli in which either one of the two major systems (PIT, PST) for phosphate transport was present. In the PIT system, phosphate transport is coupled to the proton-motive force. The energy source for the PST system appears to be phosphate-bond energy, as has been found in other systems involving binding proteins. High concentration gradients of phosphate (between 100 and 500) are established by both systems.

Filtered Load

By means of the infusion of small amounts of sodium sulphate it has been possible to elevate the filtered load of inorganic phosphate to the renal tubule in fasted dogs without the administration of exogenous phosphate. Under these circumstances, the reabsorption of phosphate remains virtually complete, even when filtered loads are reached which result in a substantial phosphaturia when phosphate has been administered. By comparing phosphate reabsorption and excretion in fasted animals, and in animals at various intervals after feeding, the existence of homeostatic adjustments in the renal tubular transport of inorganic phosphate has been demonstrated. The available evidence suggests that the intracellular disposition of phosphate itself may be an important factor in determining the rate of renal tubular phosphate transport at filtered loads in the physiological range. The limitations of the determination of the phosphate "Tm" as a device for studying homeostatic processes have been discussed.

ABSTRACTIn open environments such as water, enterohemorrhagicEscherichia coliO157:H7 responds to inorganic phosphate (Pi) starvation by inducing the Pho regulon controlled by PhoB. The phosphate-specific transport (Pst) system is the high-affinity Pi transporter. In the Δpstmutant, PhoB is constitutively activated and regulates the expression of genes from the Pho regulon. InE. coliO157:H7, the Δpstmutant, biofilm, and autoagglutination were increased. In the double-deletion mutant ΔpstΔphoB, biofilm and autoagglutination were similar to the wild-type strain, suggesting that PhoB is involved. We investigated the relationship between PhoB activation and enhanced biofilm formation by screening a transposon mutant library derived from Δpstmutant for decreased autoagglutination and biofilms mutants. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) genes involved in the synthesis of the LPS core were identified. Transcriptomic studies indicate the influence of Pi-starvation andpstmutation on LPS biosynthetic gene expression. LPS analysis indicated that the O-antigen was deficient in the Δpstmutant. Interestingly,waaH, encoding a glycosyltransferase associated with LPS modifications inE. coliK-12, was highly expressed in the Δpstmutant ofE. coliO157:H7. Deletion ofwaaHfrom the Δpstmutant and from the wild-type strain grown in Pi-starvation conditions decreased the biofilm formation but without affecting LPS. Our findings suggest that LPS core is involved in the autoagglutination and biofilm phenotypes of the Δpstmutant and that WaaH plays a role in biofilm in response to Pi-starvation. This study highlights the importance of Pi-starvation in biofilm formation of E. coli O157:H7, which may affect its transmission and persistence.IMPORTANCEEnterohemorrhagicEscherichia coliO157:H7 is a human pathogen responsible for bloody diarrhea and renal failures. In the environment, O157:H7 can survive for prolonged periods of time under nutrient-deprived conditions. Biofilms are thought to participate in this environmental lifestyle. Previous reports have shown that the availability of extracellular inorganic phosphate (Pi) affected bacterial biofilm formation; however, nothing was known about O157:H7 biofilm formation. Our results show that O157:H7 membrane undergoes modifications upon PhoB activation leading to increased biofilm formation. A mutation in the Pst system results in reduced amount of the smooth type LPS and that this could influence the biofilm composition. This demonstrates how theE. coliO157:H7 adapts to Pi starvation increasing its ability to occupy different ecological niches.

Cotransport System

Transcellular transport of inorganic phosphate (Pi) in the renal proximal tubule is sodium dependent. The entry step across the apical membrane involves a Na-Pi cotransport system and is subject to short-term and long-term regulation. This regulation can be protein synthesis independent (short term) as well as protein synthesis dependent (long term).
