Ligand binding and crystal structures of the substrate-binding domain of the ABC transporter OpuA.

BACKGROUND:The ABC transporter OpuA from Lactococcus lactis transports glycine betaine upon activation by threshold values of ionic strength. In this study, the ligand binding characteristics of purified OpuA in a detergent-solubilized state and of its substrate-binding domain produced as soluble pr...
