Four amino acids critical for lactose permease function were altered using site-directed mutagenesis. The resulting Quad mutant (E269Q/R302L/H322Q/E325Q) was expressed at 60% of wild-type levels but found to have negligible transport activity. The Qu

A bioinformatic approach was used for the identification of residues that are conserved within the Nramp family of metal transporters. Site-directed mutagenesis was then carried out to change six conserved acidic residues (i.e., Asp-34, Glu-102, Asp-

A combinatorial approach was used to study putative interactions among six ionizable residues (Asp-240, Glu-269, Arg-302, Lys-319, His-322, and Glu-325) in the lactose permease. Neutral mutations were made involving five ion pairs that had not been p

Previous work on the lactose permease of Escherichia coli has shown that mutations along a face of predicted transmembrane segment 8 (TMS-8) play a critical role in conformational changes associated with lactose transport (Green, A. L., and Brooker,

A facile activity assay for an H+-coupled transporter using florescent probes was developed with an H+-coupled manganese transporter (MntH) as a model. Making use of coupled-proton transport, the transport activity (H+/Mn2+ cotransport) can be direct

Previous work on the lactose permease of Escherichia coli has shown that mutations along a face of predicted transmembrane segment 2 (TMS-2) play a critical role in conformational changes associated with lactose transport [Green, A. L., Anderson, E.

In a previous study, we characterized a lactose permease mutant (K319N/E325Q) that can transport H+ ions with sugar. This result was surprising because other studies had suggested that Glu-325 plays an essential role in H+ binding. To determine if th

In chemiosmotic coupling, a transmembrane ion gradient is used as the source of energy to drive reactions. This process occurs in all cells, but the microscopic mechanism is not understood. Here, Escherichia coli lactose permease was used in a novel

The major facilitator superfamily (MFS) of transport proteins, which includes the lactose permease of Escherichia coli, contains a conserved motif G-X-X-X-D/E-R/K-X-G-R/K-R/K in the loops that connect transmembrane segments 2 and 3, and transmembrane

The lactose permease, encoded by the lacY gene of Escherichia coli, is an integral membrane protein that functions as a proton and lactose symporter. In this study, we have characterized a novel monodisperse, purified preparation of lactose permease,
