Abstract excerpt
The transmembrane subunit of the Glc transporter (IICB(Glc)), which mediates uptake and concomitant phosphorylation of glucose, spans the membrane eight times. Variants of IICB(Glc) with the native N and C termini joined and new N and C termini in the periplasmic and cytoplasmic surface loops were expressed in Escherichia coli. In vivo transport/in vitro phosphotransferase activities of the circularly permuted...
