Abstract excerpt
MalK, the ATP-binding cassette component of the Escherichia coli maltodextrin transporter, has long been known to control negatively the activity of MalT, a transcriptional activator dedicated to the maltose regulon. By using a biochemical approach and the soluble form of MalK as a model substrate, we demonstrate that MalK alone inhibits transcription activation by MalT in a purified transcription system. The...
