Abstract excerpt
The melibiose carrier of Escherichia coli is a cation-sugar cotransport protein. Asp124 in membrane-spanning helix IV of the carrier protein was replaced with Ser, Ile or Phe by site-directed mutagenesis of a plasmid containing the melB gene. Each of these mutants failed to show membrane transport of melibiose and melibiose-positive revertants could be isolated on melibiose MacConkey indicator plates. D124F...
