Abstract
In enteric bacteria, the sugar phosphate phosphatase YigL is known to play an important role in combating stress caused by sugar phosphate accumulation. In this study, we identified a sugar phosphate phosphatase, designated Spp, in Pseudomonas fluorescens Spp utilizes glucose 6-phosphate, fructose 6-phosphate, and ribose 5-phosphate as substrates, and overexpression of the gene had a positive effect on growth in P. fluorescens mutants experiencing sugar phosphate stress. The gene was localized downstream of gnd and zwf-2, which encode enzymes involved in the pentose phosphate and Entner-Doudoroff pathways. Genes encoding Spp homologues were identified in similar genetic contexts in some bacteria belonging to several phylogenetically diverse families, suggesting similar functions.
