Description (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) L- and D-methionine uptake ABC permease
Comments (originally from EcoCyc[1][2]) The formerly designated abc-yaeE-yaeC putative ABC transporter gene cluster (now renamed metNIQ genes) have been shown to be involved in the uptake of D-methionine in E. coli Deletion of the cluster resulted in a strain which was completely unable to grow in minimal media with D-methionine present. Complementation studies showed that nothing less than the full complement of the three genes was able to utilize D-methionine indicating that all three are necessary for proper transport system function [3][3][4]
