title: PstB protein of the phosphate-specific transport system of Escherichia coli is an ATPase.
abstract: The PstB protein of the phosphate-specific transport (Pst) system of Escherichia coli bound and hydrolyzed ATP, producing ADP. Urea-treated denatured PstB did not bind ATP. The N-terminal amino acid sequence of the immune serum-precipitable PstB protein was determined, and it corresponded to that deduced from the DNA sequence.
