ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters use the energy of ATP hydrolysis to transport a large diversity of molecules actively across biological membranes. A combination of biochemical, biophysical, and structural studies has established the maltose transporter MalFGK(2) as one of the best characterized proteins of the ABC family. MaIF and MaIG are the transmembrane domains, and two MalKs form a homodimer of nucleotide-binding domains. A periplasmic maltose-binding protein (MalE) delivers maltose and other maltodextrins to the transporter, and triggers its ATPase activity. Substrate import occurs in a unidirectional manner by ATP-driven conformational changes in MaIK(2) that allow alternating access of the substrate-binding site in MaIF to each side of the membrane. In this review, we present an integrated molecular mechanism of the transport process considering all currently available information. Furthermore, we summarize remaining inconsistencies and outline possible future routes to decipher the full mechanistic details of transport by MaIEFGK(2) complex and that of related importer systems.
