Monoclonal antibody (mAb) 4B11 binds to a conformational epitope in the lactose permease that is exposed on the cytoplasmic face of the membrane with a KD of 2.8 x 10(-7) M. By studying binding of 4B11 to permease mutants containing six contiguous His residues in each cytoplasmic loop, inserted factor Xa protease sites, or a C-terminal deletion, the cytoplasmic loops between helices VIII and IX (loop VIII/IX) and between helices X and XI (loop X/XI) are shown to comprise the epitope. Subsequently, Cys-scanning mutagenesis in conjunction with thiol modification was carried out in order to identify specific residues involved in 4B11 recognition. Glu342 and Arg344 in loop X/XI are primary determinants for 4B11 binding, while Ile283 in loop VIII/IX and Phe334 and Lys335 in loop X/XI are secondary determinants. Consistently, binding of avidin to biotinylated single-Cys replacements in loop VIII/IX or loop X/XI blocks 4B11 binding, but avidin binding to biotinylated Cys residues in other cytoplasmic loops or insertion of cytochrome b562 into cytoplasmic loop VI/VII has no significant effect. The studies demonstrate that the last two cytoplasmic loops in lactose permease comprise a discontinuous epitope for monoclonal antibody 4B11 and thereby provide independent evidence for the conclusion that helices VIII-XI are in close proximity.
