Synonyms: | EIIA(Glc)-MalFGK2 complex, EIIA(Glc)-maltose transporter complex, maltose transporter inhibitor complex |
Definition: | A protein complex consisting of the pentameric maltose transporter complex bound to two enzyme IIA (EIIA) molecules. EIIA is a component of the glucose-specific phosphotransferase system that inhibits maltose transport from the periplasm to the cytoplasm. When EIIA-bound, the maltose transporter remains in the open, inward-facing conformation, which prevents binding of maltose-loaded maltose binding protein (MBP) to the transporter. |
