Experiments with mutant Escherichia coli cells lacking phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) as a membrane component (DeChavigny, A., Heacock, P. N., and Dowhan, W. (1991) J. Biol. Chem. 266, 5323-5332) were carried out to establish whether or not PE is necessary for full function of the lac permease in vivo. The V-max for active transport of both lactose (in cells lacking beta-galactosidase, lacZ) and the unhydrolyzable lactose analog, methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (TMG), by mutant cells lacking PE was reduced 5-10-fold relative to cells containing PE, while the K-m for the uptake of both substrates was the same in both types of cells, The low rate of TMG and lactose uptake by PE-deficient cells was unaffected by the presence of a protonophore (uncoupler) and for TMG uptake was on the order of the greatly reduced rate of uptake in uncoupler-treated cells containing PE, The rate of entry of lactose into lacZ(+) derivatives of both types of cells, as a measure of facilitated diffusion, was nearly the same. The K-m for lactose (lacZ cells) and TMG transport in PE-deficient cells was unaffected by the presence of an uncoupler which had a small effect on V-max. In PE-containing cells these kinetic parameters for TMG transport were reduced by an uncoupler to the level found with PE-deficient cells while an uncoupler reduced lactose uptake by PE-containing (lacZ) cells to below measureable levels. Inverted membrane vesicles made from both types of cells could be loaded with TMG, but energizing TMG-loaded vesicles by ATP only induced rapid, uphill, permease-dependent efflux of TMG from PE-containing vesicles, The decrease in apparent active transport activity of cells with no PE was not due to a change in membrane permeability, to a reduced Delta(mu H+) (proton electrochemical gradient) across the cell membrane, or to a reduced level of membrane-associated lac permease protein, These results suggest that in the absence of PE the Iac permease cannot couple substrate uptake to Delta(mu H+) in order to effect accumulation of substrate and as a result only carries out facilitated diffusion.
