title: The MalK protein of the ATP-binding cassette transporter for maltose of Escherichia coli is accessible to protease digestion from the periplasmic side of the membrane.
abstract: The ATP-hydrolyzing subunit MalK of the ATP-binding cassette transporter for maltose of Escherichia coli is demonstrated to be accessible to digestion by proteinase K in right-side-out membrane vesicles. This finding suggests a partial transmembrane orientation of the protein.
