Abstract excerpt
The binding-protein-dependent maltose-transport system of enterobacteria, a member of the ATP-binding-cassette (ABC) transporter superfamily, is composed of two integral membrane proteins, MalF and MalG, and two copies of an ATPase subunit, MalK, which hydrolyze ATP, thus energizing the translocation process. Isolated MalK displays spontaneous ATPase activity, whereas in the assembled MalFGK2 complex,...
