The glucose analog 2-deoxyglucose (2dGlc) inhibits the growth and multicellular development ofMyxococcus xanthus. Mutants ofM. xanthusresistant to 2dGlc, designatedhexmutants, arise at a low spontaneous frequency. Expression of theEscherichia coli glk(glucokinase) gene inM. xanthus hexmutants restores 2dGlc sensitivity, suggesting that these mutants arise upon the loss of a soluble hexokinase function that phosphorylates 2dGlc to form the toxic intermediate, 2-deoxyglucose-6-phosphate. Enzyme assays ofM. xanthusextracts reveal a soluble hexokinase (ATP:d-hexose-6-phosphotransferase; EC 2.7.1.1 ) activity but no phosphotransferase system activities. Thehexmutants have lower levels of hexokinase activities than the wild type, and the levels of hexokinase activity exhibited by thehexmutants are inversely correlated with the ability of 2dGlc to inhibit their growth and sporulation. Both 2dGlc andN-acetylglucosamine act as inhibitors of glucose turnover by theM. xanthushexokinase in vitro, consistent with the finding that glucose andN-acetylglucosamine can antagonize the toxic effects of 2dGlc in vivo.
