| 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}. | |
