Organism
Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655)
Lineage
Bacteria; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as
celD; ECK1733
Summary
The Cel+ phenotype is due to mutations making expression chitobiose-independent, but a fully induced operon did not support growth on cellobiose, implying a mutation altering the substrate specificity is needed; several candidate mutations were noted in Genbank, but not proven to alter the specificity of the system (Keyhani, 1997). [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10143]. "Chitobiose regulator," ChbR, is a dual transcriptional factor that regulates an operon (chb) involved in transport and degradation of the -glucoside N,N'-diacetylchitobiose (chitobiose) . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10143].
