Mutants of E. coli Kl 2 which utilize glutamate as a major carbon source transport glutamate more effectively than wild type strains which are unable to grow on this amino acid [l-4]. Glutamate transport in one such mutant, strain CS7, has been shown to require sodium which increases the apparent affinity of the transport system for glutamate, but does not affect its capacity [5]. It has also been reported that E. coli K-12 exhibits carrier-mediated, first-order efflux of glutamate; however, the efflux rate is not altered by mutations which increase the rate of glutamate uptake [6-81.Recently, a specific glutamate-binding protein has been isolated from strain CS7, and purified to homogeneity [9, 10]. The K, for Lglutamate binding to this protein and the Ki values for certain glutamate analogues are similar to the appropriate kinetic values obtained for glutamate transport in intact cells. Moreover, mutants with increased glutamate transport activity have almost twice as much glutamate-binding protein as the wild-type parent [9, 10]. Although these findings implicate the glutamate-binding protein in transport, membrane vesicles prepared from glutamateutilizing mutants transport glutamate more than 1 O-times better than wild-type preparations, but have no detectable binding protein [1 l]. The present study demonstrates that glutamate transport in membrane vesicles of strain CS7 also requires sodium, while no such requirement is apparent for glutamate binding to purified binding protein.
