RESUMO

Escherichia coli alpha-ketoglutarate permease (KgtP) is a 432-amino-acid protein that symports alpha-ketoglutarate and protons. KgtP was predicted to contain 12 membrane-spanning domains on the basis of a calculated hydropathy profile. The membrane topology model of KgtP was analyzed by using kgtP-phoA gene fusions and measuring alkaline phosphatase activities in cells expressing the chimeric proteins. Comparisons of the phosphatase activity levels and the locations of the KgtP-PhoA junctions are consistent with the predicted membrane topology model of KgtP.
