This is in sharp contrast to the recent finding that the isolated ATPase subunit MalK was insensitive to both compounds. Our data provide the first experimental evidence for the view that functional coupling of the ATPase domain of an ABC transporter to the membrane-integral domains is crucial for conferring sensitivity to vanadate and bafilomycin A(1). Possible consequences for the mode of action of ABC transport proteins are discussed. (C) 1995 Academic Press, Inc. |
