Sugar transport through maltoporin of Escherichia coli: role of the greasy slide.

Abstract:

:The lining of the maltodextrin-specific maltoporin (LamB) channel exhibits a string of aromatic residues, the greasy slide, part of which has been shown previously by crystallography to be involved in substrate binding. To probe the functional role of the greasy slide, alanine scanning mutagenesis has been performed on the six greasy slide residues and Y118 at the channel constriction. The mutants were characterized by an in vivo uptake assay and sugar-induced-current-noise analysis. Crystallographic analysis of the W74A mutant showed no perturbation of the structure. All mutants showed considerably decreased maltose uptake rates in vivo (<10% of the wild-type value), indicating the functional importance of the investigated residues. Substitutions at the channel center revealed appreciably increased (up to 100-fold) in vitro half-saturation concentrations for maltotriose and maltohexaose binding to the channel. Sugar association rates, however, were significantly affected also by the mutations at either end of the slide (W74A, W358A, and F227A), an effect which became most apparent upon nonsymmetrical sugar addition. The kinetic data are discussed on the basis of an asymmetric one-site two-barrier model, which suggests that, at low substrate concentrations, as are found under physiological conditions, only the heights of the extracellular and periplasmic barriers, which are reduced by the presence of the greasy slide, determine the efficiency of this facilitated diffusion channel.

  • Characterization of a Bacillus subtilis sporulation operon that includes genes for an RNA polymerase sigma factor and for a putative DD-carboxypeptidase.

    abstract::At early stages of sporulation, the spoIIA locus is transcribed as a tricistronic (1.7-kb) operon, coding for sigma F and for two proteins that modulate the activity of sigma F. The locus is transcribed as a longer (2.9-kb) transcript at the late stages of sporulation. We show here that the longer transcript contains ...
