Abstract excerpt
We used the maltose transport complex MalFGK2 of the Escherichia coli cytoplasmic membrane as a model for the study of the assembly of hetero-oligomeric membrane protein complexes. Analysis of other membrane protein complexes has led to a general model in which a unique, ordered pathway is followed from subunit monomers to a final oligomeric structure. In contrast, the studies reported here point to a...
