Probing the putative active site of YjdL: an unusual proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter from E. coli.

YjdL from E. coli is an unusual proton-coupled oligopeptide transporter (POT). Unlike prototypical POTs, dipeptides are preferred over tripeptides, in particular dipeptides with a positively charged C-terminal residue. To further understand this difference in peptide specificity, the sequences of Yj...
