Metabolite Identification
Common NameTrehalose 6-phosphate
DescriptionTrehalose-6-phopshate is a phosphorylated form of trehalose. Trehalose is a disaccharide that acts as an osmoprotectant as well as a carbon source in Escherichia coli. At high osmolarity the cells synthesize large amounts of trehalose internally as an osmoprotectant. However, they can also degrade trehalose as the sole source of carbon under both high- and low-osmolarity growth conditions. The modes of trehalose utilization are different under the two conditions. At low osmolarity, trehalose is transported via a trehalose-specific enzyme of the phosphotransferase system, encoded by treB. The trehalose-6-phosphate formed by this enzyme is hydrolyzed to glucose and glucose 6-phosphate by trehalose-6-phosphate hydrolase, encoded by treC.
