TL;DR
A comparison has been made between the physiology and amino acid sequence of the lactose carrier of Klebsiella pneumoniae M5a1 and Escherichia coli K-12 and the amino acid sequences of the respective lactose carriers were remarkably similar.
Abstract
A comparison has been made between the physiology and amino acid sequence of the lactose carriers of Klebsiella pneumoniae M5a1 and Escherichia coli K-12. The membrane transport of lactose was much weaker in Klebsiella than in E. coli. On the other hand o-nitrophenylgalactoside uptake by Klebsiella was distinctly greater than with E. coli. In spite of the differences in sugar transport between the two organisms, the amino acid sequences of the respective lactose carriers were remarkably similar (60% of the amino acids are identical).

The findings suggest that although cys148 is essential for substrate protection against sulfhydryl inactivation, it is not obligatory for lactose: proton symport and that another sulfHydryl group elsewhere within the lac carrier protein may be required for full activity.

The lac permease of Escherichia coli was modified by site-directed mutagenesis such that Arg-302 in putative helix IX was replaced with Leu and the guanidino group in Arg- 302 may interact with the imidazole of His-322 and thereby play a role in the H+ relay suggested to be involved in lactose/H+ symport.

The lac permease of Escherichia coli was modified by site-directed mutagenesis such that His-205 or His-322 is replaced with either Asn or Gln, and it is demonstrated that permease with Arg in place of His- 322 does not catalyze efflux, exchange, or counterflow.
