cscK - D-Fructokinase from E.coli W
Usage and Biology
cscK is a part of the csc operon found in E.coli W which allows for sucrose consumption and metabolism. The cscK gene product phosphorylates fructose, which then enters glycolysis directly [1]. At low sucrose concentrations, the csc operon is repressed. Removal of cscK or cscR (the csc operon's repressor) was shown to be involved in derepression and their combinatorial knockout led to an improved growth rate in low sucrose concentrations. [2]
E. coli W with a deletion of cscK could grow on 2% sucrose, with no compromise on the growth rate, and it was determined that the gene is not entirely essential for sucrose utilization and that there might be an alternate path for fructose utilization at low sucrose concentrations (0.2%) [2].
