An issue left unexplained in this paper is the striking quantitative difference between E. coli and B. subtilis. This is clearly visible in Fig. 6, where it is shown the probability that two genes at distance l belong to the same cluster of codon usage. Clusters are characterized by a similar codon bias and were identified using a novel information-based clustering method. While both curves decay on distances sizably longer than what could be accounted by operons, B. subtilis curve manifestly features much longer correlations. It is hard to develop a biologically well-founded explanation for such a striking difference between the two organisms. |

Cells need safety valves
Bioessays (2009) 31: 769-773

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
