Cells need safety valves

In Escherichia coli, the role of
lacA, the third gene of the lactose operon, has
remained an enigma. I suggest that its role is the
consequence of the need for cells to have safety valves
that protect them from the osmotic effect created by their
permeases. Safety valves allow them to cope with the
buildup of osmotic pressure under accidental transient
conditions. Multidrug resistance (MDR) efflux, thus named
because of our anthropocentrism, is ubiquitous. Yet, the
formation of simple leaks would result in futile
influx/efflux cycles. Versatile modification enzymes with
low sensitivity solve the problem if the modified
metabolite is the one exported by MDR permeases. This may
account for the pervasive presence of acetyltransferases,
such as LacA, associated to acetyl-metabolite exporters.
This scenario of constraints imposed by efficient influx
of metabolites provides us with a model that should be
followed when constructing synthetic cells
