Mutants of E. coli in which the maltose-binding protein (MBP) is no longer required for growth on maltose as the sole source of C and energy were isolated. These mutants were selected as Mal+ revertants of a strain which carries a deletion of the MBP structural gene, malE. In 1 class of these mutants, maltose is transported into the cell independently of MBP by the remaining components of the maltose system. The mutations in these strains map in either malF or malG. These genes code for 2 of the cytoplasmic membrane components of the maltose transport system. In some of the mutants, MBP actually inhibits maltose transport. These mutants still transport maltose actively and in a stereospecific manner. These results suggest that the malF and malG mutations result in exposure of a substrate recognition site that is usually available only to substrates bound to MBP.
