Two closely related ABC transporters in Streptococcus mutans are involved in disaccharide and/or oligosaccharide uptake.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Jan 2008

Webb Alexander J, Homer Karen A, Hosie Arthur H F

Abstract excerpt

Streptococcus mutans has a large number of transporters apparently involved in the uptake of carbohydrates. At least two of these, the multiple sugar metabolism transporter, MsmEFGK, and the previously uncharacterized MalXFGK, are members of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) superfamily. Mutation analysis revealed that the MsmEFGK and MalXFGK transporters are principally involved in the uptake of distinct...
