Abstract excerpt
In a previous study, we characterized a lactose permease mutant (K319N/E325Q) that can transport H+ ions with sugar. This result was surprising because other studies had suggested that Glu-325 plays an essential role in H+ binding. To determine if the lactose permease contains one or more auxiliary H+ binding sites, we began with the K319N/E325Q strain, which catalyzes a sugar-dependent H+ leak, and isolated...
