Resumo

ABSTRACT We report on novel mutations in the malK gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, encoding the ATPase subunit of the maltose transporter (MalFGK 2 ). Biochemical analysis suggests that (i) L86 might be involved in a signaling step during substrate translocation and (ii) E306 may be critical for the structural integrity of the protein.
