Abstract excerpt
The mitochondrial citrate transport protein (CTP) has been investigated by mutating 28 consecutive residues within transmembrane domain III (TMDIII), one at a time, to cysteine. A cysteine-less CTP that retains wild-type functional properties, served as the starting template. The single Cys CTP mutants were abundantly expressed in Escherichia coli, isolated, and functionally reconstituted in a liposomal system....
