Abstract

A clinical isolate of was demonstrated to transport [C]maltose with similar kinetics to enteric bacteria ( : 0.3μM; : 22 nmol min per 10 cells). The uptake of [C]maltose was completely inhibited in the presence of unlabelled maltose or maltodextrins, whereas other mono- and disaccharides, such as glucose, galactose, sucrose, lactose or melibiose, had no effect. A protein with an apparent molecular mass of 39 kDa (maltose-binding protein; MBP) was identified in osmotic-shock fluid of maltose-grown cells by SDS-gel electrophoresis, and was purified to homogeneity by either amylose affinity chromatography or ion-exchange chromatography. Equilibrium dialysis experiments revealed the ability of the purified protein to bind [C]maltose with high affinity ( = 1.6μM). Unlabelled maltose and maltodextrins competed for the binding site. In a reconstitution experiment, MBP poorly restored the transport activity of a binding-protein-deficient () mutant. N-terminal sequence analyses of the purified native protein and of peptides generated by cleavage with CNBr and subsequently separated by HPLC revealed about 56% identical amino acid residues, as compared to enterobacterial MBPs. We conclude that maltose is transported into via a binding-protein-dependent transport system.
