The Gal2 galactose transporter takes up galactose in yeast. A homologous glucose transporter from the same organism, Hxt2, was selected, and various chimeras between these two transporters were constructed by making use of homologous recombination in Escherichia coli. Comparison of the galactose transport activities of three series of chimeras enabled us to positively identify a crucial substrate recognition region of 101 amino acids that lies close to the carboxyl terminus of the Gal2 transporter.
