Function
[MALK_ECOLI] Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in maltose/maltodextrin import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. [MALE_ECOLI] Involved in the high-affinity maltose membrane transport system MalEFGK. Initial receptor for the active transport of and chemotaxis toward maltooligosaccharides. [MALG_ECOLI] Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for maltose; probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane. [MALF_ECOLI] Part of the binding-protein-dependent transport system for maltose; probably responsible for the translocation of the substrate across the membrane.
Publication Abstract from PubMed
ATP-binding cassette transporters are powered by ATP, but the mechanism by which these transporters hydrolyze ATP is unclear. In this study, four crystal structures of the full-length wild-type maltose transporter, stabilized by adenosine 5'-(beta,gamma-imido)triphosphate or ADP in conjunction with phosphate analogs , , or , were determined to 2.2- to 2.4-A resolution. These structures led to the assignment of two enzymatic states during ATP hydrolysis and demonstrate specific functional roles of highly conserved residues in the nucleotide-binding domain, suggesting that ATP-binding cassette transporters catalyze ATP hydrolysis via a general base mechanism.
