Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli mntH (formerly yfeP) gene encodes a putative membrane protein (MntH) highly similar to members of the eukaryotic Nramp family of divalent metal ion transporters. To determine the function of E. coli MntH, a null mutant was created and MntH was overexpressed both in wild-type E. coli and in the metal-dependent mutant hflB1(Ts). At the restrictive temperature 42 degrees C, the mntH null...
