Abstract excerpt
Recently, a two-dimensional crystal structure of NhaA, the Na+/H+ antiporter of Escherichia coli has been obtained [Williams, K. A., Kaufer, U. G., Padan, E., Schuldiner, S. and Kühlbrandt, W. (1999) EMBO J., 18, 3558-3563]. In these crystals NhaA exists as a dimer. Using biochemical and genetic approaches here we show that NhaA exists in the native membrane as a homooligomer. Functional complementation between...
