An early event in the transport mechanism of LacY protein: interaction between helices V and I.

Abstract excerpt

Helix V in LacY, which abuts and crosses helix I in the N-terminal helix bundle of LacY, contains Arg(144) and Trp(151), two residues that play direct roles in sugar recognition and binding, as well as Cys(154), which is important for conformational flexibility. In this study, paired Cys replacement mutants in helices V and I were strategically constructed with tandem factor Xa protease cleavage sites in the loop...
