Abstract excerpt
Previous work on the lactose permease of Escherichia coli has shown that mutations along a face of predicted transmembrane segment 2 (TMS-2) play a critical role in conformational changes associated with lactose transport [Green, A. L., Anderson, E. J., and Brooker, R. J. (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 23240-23246]. In the current study, mutagenesis was conducted along the side of predicted TMS-8 that contains the...
