Description (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) EIIBCMalX
Comments (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) MalX, the maltose-glucose PTS permease, belongs to the functional
superfamily of the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP)-dependent, sugar
transporting phosphotransferase system (PTS). The PTS transports
and simultaneously phosphorylates its sugar substrates in a process
called group translocation. MalX presumably takes up exogenous
sugar, releasing the phosphate ester into the cell cytoplasm in
preparation for metabolism [3][4][4].
