Abstract excerpt
Ser57 in the Na+/proline permease of Escherichia coli has been replaced with alanine, cysteine, glycine, or threonine, and properties of the corresponding putP mutants have been analyzed. Although Ser57 is not essential for activity, the amino acid side chain at this position is critical for proline uptake. Thus, alanine, cysteine, glycine, or threonine in place of Ser57 reduces the initial rate of proline...
