UniProt functional annotation for P02920

UniProt code: P02920.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Responsible for transport of beta-galactosides into the cell, with the concomitant import of a proton (symport system). Can transport lactose, melibiose, lactulose or the analog methyl-1-thio-beta,D- galactopyranoside (TMG), but not sucrose or fructose (PubMed:1848449, PubMed:18177889, PubMed:22106930). The substrate specificity is directed toward the galactopyranosyl moiety of the substrate (PubMed:22106930). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1848449, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22106930}.
 
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=0.62 mM for lactose {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889}; KM=0.24 mM for melibiose {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889}; KM=0.24 mM for lactulose {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22106930}; KM=0.54 mM for TMG {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889}; Vmax=191 nmol/min/mg enzyme with lactose as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889}; Vmax=105 nmol/min/mg enzyme with melibiose as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889}; Vmax=49 nmol/min/mg enzyme with lactulose as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22106930}; Vmax=180 nmol/min/mg enzyme with TMG as substrate {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18177889};
Subunit: Monomer.
Subcellular location: Cell inner membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2164211}; Multi-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2164211}.
Mass spectrometry: Mass=47357; Method=Electrospray; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10485888};
Similarity: Belongs to the major facilitator superfamily. Oligosaccharide:H(+) symporter (OHS) (TC 2.A.1.5) family. {ECO:0000305}.
