Abstract excerpt
Histidyl residues in peptide transporters PepT1 and PepT2 are believed to participate in proton and substrate binding and to be crucial to the transporters' functional activities. In the present study, we performed mutagenesis of rabbit PepT1. We mutated three histidine residues (H57, H111, and H121) predicted to reside in transmembrane segments, as well as tyrosine residues adjacent to H57. Functional analysis...
