Abstract excerpt
The study of biological transporters can be hampered by a dearth of methodology for tracking their activity within cells. Here, we present a means of monitoring the function of transport machinery within bacteria, exploiting a genetically encoded riboswitch-based sensor to detect the accumulation of the substrate in the cytoplasm. This method was used to investigate the model ABC transporter BtuC2D2F, which...
