Abstract
No periplasmic binding protein has been demonstrated for the ATP-binding ca ssette (ABC)-type cobalamin transporter BtuCD. New mutations (btuF) are des cribed that affect inner-membrane transport. The BtuF protein has a signal sequence and resembles the periplasmic binding proteins of several other AB C transporters.
