The ATP-binding cassette subunit of the maltose transporter MalK antagonizes MalT, the activator of the Escherichia coli mal regulon.

Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1998

Panagiotidis C H, Boos W, Shuman H A

Abstract excerpt

Transcription of the mal regulon of Escherichia coli K-12 is regulated by the positive activator, MalT. In the presence of ATP and maltotriose, MalT binds to decanucleotide MalT boxes that are found upstream of mal promoters and activates transcription at these sites. The earliest studies of the mal regulon, however, suggested a negative role for the MalK protein, the ATP-binding cassette subunit of the maltose...
