Abstract excerpt
We reported that the positive charge of Arg(70) is mandatory for tetracycline transport activity of Tn10-encoded metal-tetracycline/H(+) antiporter (TetA(B)) (Someya, Y., and Yamaguchi, A. (1996) Biochemistry 35, 9385-9391). Arg(70) may function through a charge-pairing with a negatively charged residue in close proximity. Therefore, we mutated Asp(66) and Asp(120), which are only two negatively charged residues...
