Description
malE encodes the maltose-binding protein, essential for both maltose transport and chemotaxis. It resides in the periplasm and undergoes a conformational change on binding to maltose, allowing it to interact with both the transport machinery and chemoreceptors in the cell's inner membrane.
Notes
The addition of biobrick ends to the standard malE gene sequence
