Evidence that transmembrane segment 2 of the lactose permease is part of a conformationally sensitive interface between the two halves of the protein.

Abstract excerpt

A conserved motif, GXXX(D/E)(R/K)XG(R/K)(R/K), is found in a large group of evolutionarily related membrane proteins involved in the transport of small molecules across the membrane. This motif is located within the cytoplasmic side of transmembrane domain 2 (TM-2) and extends through the hydrophilic loop that connects transmembrane domains 2 and 3. The motif is repeated again in the second half of the protein....
