Abstract excerpt
A major proline carrier in Escherichia coli encoded by the putP gene mediates proline/Na+ or Li+ symport. Proline carrier mutants with altered cation specificity were obtained by mutagenesis with nitrous acid in vitro of a plasmid carrying the wild-type putP gene. Two mutant strains harboring plasmid pMOP4135 and pMOP4141 could transport proline efficiently only in the presence of an increased concentration of...
