The Escherichia coli MalE-MalFGK2 complex is one of the best characterized members of the large and ubiquitous family of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. It is composed of a membrane-spanning heterodimer, MalF-MalG; a homodimeric ATPase, MalK2; and a periplasmic maltose receptor, MalE. Opening and closure of MalK2 is coupled to conformational changes in MalF-MalG and the alternate exposition of the substrate-binding site to either side of the membrane. To further define this alternate access mechanism and the impact of ATP, MalE and maltose on the conformation of the transporter during the transport cycle, we have reconstituted MalFGK2 in nanodiscs and analyzed its conformations under 10 different biochemical conditions using negative stain single particle EM. EM map results (at 15-25 Å resolution) indicate that binding of ATP to MalK2 promotes an asymmetric, semi-closed conformation in accordance with the low ATPase activity of MalFGK2. In the presence of MalE, the MalK dimer becomes fully closed; gaining the ability to hydrolyze ATP. In the presence of ADP or maltose, MalE·MalFGK2 remains essentially in a semi-closed symmetric conformation indicating that release of these ligands is required for the return to the initial state. Taken together, this structural information provides a rationale for the stimulation of MalK ATPase activity by MalE as well as by maltose.
