| UniProt functional annotation for P0AEX9 | |||
| UniProt code: P0AEX9. |
| Organism: | Escherichia coli (strain K12). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia. | |
| Function: | Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in maltose/maltodextrin import. Binds maltose and higher maltodextrins such as maltotriose. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2026607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2155217, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4215651, ECO:0000269|PubMed:776623}. | |
| Biophysicochemical properties: | Kinetic parameters: KM=0.9 uM for maltose {ECO:0000269|PubMed:776623}; KM=2 uM for maltotriose {ECO:0000269|PubMed:776623}; | |
| Subunit: | The complex is composed of two ATP-binding proteins (MalK), two transmembrane proteins (MalG and MalF) and a solute-binding protein (MalE). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:2026607, ECO:0000269|PubMed:2155217}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Periplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:4215651}. | |
| Induction: | Induced by maltose and the transcriptional regulator MalT (PubMed:4215651). Permanently repressed by cold shock in a PNPase- dependent fashion (PubMed:14527658). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14527658, ECO:0000269|PubMed:4215651}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the bacterial solute-binding protein 1 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
