Abstract excerpt
Enzyme I (EI), the first component of the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP):sugar phosphotransferase system (PTS), consists of an N-terminal domain with the phosphorylation site (His-189) and a C-terminal domain with the PEP binding site. Here we use C3-substituted PEP analogues as substrates and inhibitors and the EI(C502A) mutant to characterize structure-activity relationships of the PEP binding site. EI(C502A) is 10...
