The isolation and deduced amino acid sequence of 70 melibiose carrier mutants with impaired methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside (TMG) and cation recognition properties is described. The Km for TMG transport ranged from 1 to greater than 100 mM. Amino acid substitutions occurred at 23 unique sites within the protein. These sites were clustered into four distinct regions: Asp-15 through Ile-18 (cluster I), Tyr-116 through Pro-122 (cluster II), Val-342 through Ile-348 (cluster III), and Ala- 364 through Gly-374. Only two sites fell outside of these clusters: Ile- 61 and Ala-236. In the native conformation, some or all of these clusters may interact to form the substrate recognition site. Impairment of TMG recognition was accompanied by decreased Li+ inhibition of melibiose transport in all but one mutant. That changes in sugar recognition properties should so frequently accompany changes in cation recognition properties suggests an interaction between the two substrates. A model for such interaction is proposed.
