| Abstract |
Enzyme IIA(Glc) of the Escherichia coli phosphoenolpyruvate:glucose phosphotransferase system plays a direct role in regulating inducible transport systems. Dephosphorylated IIA(Glc) binds directly to lactose permease in a reaction that requires binding of a galactosidic substrate. A double-Cys mutation (Ile129 --> Cys/Lys131 --> Cys) was introduced into helix IV of the permease near the IIA(Glc) binding site in cytoplasmic loop IV/V and in the vicinity of the galactoside binding site at the interface of helices IV, V, and VIII. The mutant no longer requires galactoside for IIA(Glc) binding as demonstrated by both a [(125)I]IIA(Glc) binding assay and a newly developed fluorescence anisotropy assay. Further characterization of the mutant shows that it binds substrate with high affinity, but is almost completely defective in all modes of translocation across the cytoplasmic membrane. The data are consistent with the interpretation that the double mutant is locked in an inward-facing conformation. |
