Structural analyses of a heterodimeric SusCD complex captures intermediate states of maltooligosaccharide transport

Bacteroides are abundant gut bacteria with diverse polysaccharide metabolizing capabilities encoded by co-transcribed polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs). The starch utilization system (Sus) is required for starch and a-glucan metabolism in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron and has served as a model for PUL studies. However, the mechanism of maltooligosaccharide (MOS) transport and the architecture…
