Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli multidrug transporter MdfA contains a membrane-embedded charged residue (Glu-26) that was shown to play an important role in substrate recognition. To identify additional determinants of multidrug recognition we isolated 58 intragenic second-site mutations that restored the function of inactive MdfA E26X mutants. In addition, two single-site mutations that enhanced the activity of wild-type...
