(1) Enzyme I of the phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase system of Escherichia coli has been reported to contain one phosphorylation site per dimer and thus operates by either a half of the sites or a flip-flop mechanism [Misset, O., & Robillard, G. T. (1982) Biochemistry 21, 3136-3142; Hoving, T., ten Hoeve-Duurkens, R., & Robillard, G. T. (1984) Biochemistry 23, 4335-4340].
(2) Previously we have reported the characterization of the gene for the glycosomal enzyme [Michels, P. A. M., Poliszczak, A., Osinga, K. A., Misset, O., Van Beeumen, J., Wierenga, R. K., Borst, P. & Opperdoes, F. R. (1986) EMBO J.
