Abstract excerpt
Previous work on the lactose permease of Escherichia coli has shown that mutations along a face of predicted transmembrane segment 8 (TMS-8) play a critical role in conformational changes associated with lactose transport (Green, A. L., and Brooker, R. J. [2001] Biochemistry 40, 12220-12229). Substitutions at positions 261, 265, 268, 272, and 276, which form a continuous stripe along TMS-8, were markedly...
