Maltooligosaccharide importer (TC 3.A.1.1.1) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as MALK_ECOLI, malK. Part of the ABC transporter complex MalEFGK involved in maltose/maltodextrin import. Responsible for energy coupling to the transport system. The complex is composed of two ATP-binding proteins (MalK), two transmembrane proteins (MalG and MalF) and a solute-binding protein (MalE). Protein stability and stable complex formation require YidC.
