Abstract excerpt
A conserved motif, GXXX(D/E)(R/K)XG[X](R/K)(R/K), is located in loop 2/3 and loop 8/9 in the lactose permease, and also in hundreds of evolutionarily related transporters. The importance of conserved residues in loop 8/9 was previously investigated (Pazdernik, N. J., Jessen-Marshall, A. E., and Brooker, R. J. (1997) J. Bacteriol. 179, 735-741). Although this loop was tolerant of many substitutions, a few...
